摘要:One of the possible explanations for the dark matter needed in the standard cosmological model
is so-called warm dark matter, in the form of right-handed (“sterile”) neutrinos with a mass in the
keV range. I describe how various properties of QCD at temperatures of a few hundred MeV play
an important role in the theoretical computations that are needed for consolidating or falsifying
this scenario. In particular the points where lattice QCD could help are underlined.
