Dark Radiation or Warm Dark Matter from long lived particle decays in
  the light of Planck
  Although Planck data supports the standard \Lambda CDM model, it still allows
for the presence of Dark Radiation corresponding up to about half an extra
standard neutrino species. We propose a scenario for obtaining a fractional
"effective neutrino species" from a thermally produced particle which decays
into a much lighter stable relic plus standard fermions. At lifetimes much
longer than 1 sec, both the relic particles and the non-thermal neutrino
component contribute to Dark Radiation. By increasing the stable-to-unstable
particle mass ratio, the relic particle no longer acts as Dark Radiation but
instead becomes a candidate for Warm Dark Matter with mass O(1keV - 100GeV). In
both cases it is possible to address the lithium problem.
