It has been proposed that two resonances could coincide in the early universe at temperatures T ∼ 0.2...0.5GeV: one between two nearly degenerate GeV-scale ster- ile neutrinos, producing a large lepton asymmetry through freeze-out and decays; another between medium-modified active neutrinos and keV-scale sterile neutrinos, converting the lepton asymmetry into dark matter. Making use of a framework which tracks three ster- ile neutrinos of both helicities as well as three separate lepton asymmetries, and scanning the parameter space of the GeV-scale species, we establish the degree of fine-tuning that is needed for realizing this scenario.
