Anatomy of RHN DM relic in the vanilla scotogenic neutrino mass model

The lightest right-handed neutrino (RHN) can be a dark matter candidate in the minimal scotogenic model by generating light neutrino masses radiatively at one loop. While constraints from flavor violation and precision tests limit viable regions, the relic density can be achieved through conversion-driven processes like decay and inverse decay. Collider searches look for displaced vertex signatures as a complementary probe.
