Description

We investigate a model of neutrino portal dark matter where a right-handed neutrino both generates the observed neutrino masses and mediates between the SM and a dark sector, consisting of a fermion and a boson. We explore the parametrics and different constraints on the neutrino portal to dark matter. In contrast to earlier work, we focus on regions of the parameter space where DM is generated via freeze-in instead of freeze-out.
