Abstract
The equilibration of the right-helicity states of light Dirac-neutrinos is discussed. I point out that the production rate is enhanced by weak gauge boson pole effects so that the right-helicity component of is brought into equilibrium at GeV independently of the initial abundance, provided keV. Neutrino spin flip in primordial magnetic fields and the resulting bound on is also discussed.
