Imprints of MeV scale hidden dark sector at Planck data

New light species can contribute to the number of effective relativistic degrees of freedom (Neff) at Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) which is precisely measured by Planck. In this work, we consider an MeV scale thermally decoupled non-minimal dark sector and study the imprint of the dark sector d...
