Summary
Sterile Neutrinos with a mass in the keV range form a good candidate for dark
matter. They are naturally produced from neutrino oscillations via their mixing
with the active neutrinos. However the production via non-resonant neutrino
oscillations has recently been ruled out. Sterile neutrino dark matter production from
scalar decay is an attractive possibility to circumvent the astrophysical
constraints. I will discuss different realisations of this interesting
production mechanism.
