| contents | The impact of dark matter-neutrino ($ν$DM) interactions on cosmological perturbations has regained attention, spurred by indications of non-zero couplings from high-multipole cosmic microwave background data, weak lensing, and Lyman-$α$ observations. We demonstrate that a similar observational preference is obtained if $ν$DM interactions are primarily enhanced during a specific epoch, $z\sim (10^4-10^5)$, leading to $>3σ$ preference for a non-zero interaction in the combined Atacama Cosmology Telescope and cosmic shear data. This redshift-limited enhancement circumvents other cosmological and astrophysical bounds and can be achieved within a neutrino portal dark matter framework incorporating resonantly enhanced scattering rates. |
