Large samples of charged kaon decays have been collected by the NA48/2 (2003-2004), the NA62-R[Formula: see text] (2007) and the NA62 (2015) experiments at CERN SPS. This proceedings summarizes upper limits on heavy neutrino production measured by these experiments. The results from the 2015 data analysis at the NA62 experiment are preliminary.

In many realizations of leptogenesis, heavy right-handed neutrinos play the main role in the generation of an imbalance between matter and antimatter in the early Universe. Hence, it is relevant to address quantitatively their dynamics in a hot and dense environment by taking into account the various thermal aspects of the problem at hand. The strong washout regime offers an interesting framework to carry out calculations systematically and reduce theoretical uncertainties. Indeed, any matter–antimatter asymmetry generated when the temperature of the hot plasma [Formula: see text] exceeds the right-handed neutrino mass scale [Formula: see text] is efficiently erased, and one can focus on the temperature window [Formula: see text]. We review recent progress in the thermal field theoretic derivation of the key ingredients for the leptogenesis mechanism: the right-handed neutrino production rate, the CP asymmetry in the heavy-neutrino decays and the washout rates. The derivation of evolution equations for the heavy-neutrino and lepton-asymmetry number densities, their rigorous formulation and applicability are also discussed.

Using Martin’s potential, independently of b- and c-quark flavours, we calculate the mass spectrum of [Formula: see text]-mesons and widths of electromagnetic transition between them. We obtain the estimates of the production cross-section at e+e− colliders, in hadronic and neutrino interactions. A real possibility of observing Bc-mesons at LEP (up to 500 Bc per 106 Z0) and at hadron colliders [Formula: see text] has been pointed out. The importance of observing the annihilation decay channels of Bc-mesons—Bc→τντ( Br (Bc→τντ)=1.5–2%) and Bc→ϕDs, DK, etc.—has been emphasized.

Extending the standard model with three right-handed neutrinos and a simple QCD axion sector can account for neutrino oscillations, dark matter and baryon asymmetry; at the same time, it solves the strong CP problem, stabilizes the electroweak vacuum and can implement critical Higgs inflation (satisfying all current observational bounds). We perform here a general analysis of dark matter (DM) in such a model, which we call the aνMSM. Although critical Higgs inflation features a (quasi) inflection point of the inflaton potential, we show that DM cannot receive a contribution from primordial black holes in the aνMSM. This leads to a multicomponent axion–sterile neutrino DM and allows us to relate the axion parameters, such as the axion decay constant, to the neutrino parameters. We include several DM production mechanisms: the axion production via misalignment and decay of topological defects as well as the sterile neutrino production through the resonant and non-resonant mechanisms and in the recently proposed CPT-symmetric universe.
