  • Neutrino cosmology is interesting because Relic
    neutrinos are very abundant
  • The CNB contributes to radiation at early times
    and to matter at late times (info on the number
    of neutrinos and their masses)
  • Cosmological observables can be used to test
    non-standard neutrino properties

Searching for non-zero neutrino mass in
laboratory experiments
  • Tritium beta decay measurements of endpoint
    energy
  • m(?e) lt 2.2 eV (95 CL) Mainz-Troitsk
  • Future experiments (KATRIN) m(?e) 0.3 eV
  • Neutrinoless double beta decay if Majorana
    neutrinos
  • 76Ge experiments ImeeI lt 0.4hN eV

Absolute mass scale searches
Tritium ? decay lt 2.2 eV
Neutrinoless double beta decay lt 0.4-1.6 eV

Neutrinos as Dark Matter
  • Neutrinos are natural DM candidates
  • They stream freely until non-relativistic
    (collisionless phase mixing)
    Neutrinos are HOT Dark Matter
  • First structures to be formed when Universe
    became matter -dominated
  • Ruled out by structure formation CDM

Effect of massive neutrinos on the CMB spectra
  • Direct effect of sub-eV massive neutrinos on the
    evolution of the baryon-photon coupling is very
    small
  • Impact on CMB spectra is indirect non-zero O?
    today implies a change in the spatial curvature
    or other Oi . The background evolution is
    modified
  • Ex in a flat universe,
  • keep O?OcdmObO?1
  • constant

Effect of massive neutrinos on the CMB spectra
Problem with parameter degeneracies change
in other cosmological parameters can mimic the
effect of nu masses

Cosmological Data

    experiments at large multipoles (CBI, ACBAR,
    VSA)
  • CMB Polarization WMAP,
  • Large Scale Structure
  • Galaxy Clustering (2dF,SDSS)
  • Bias (Galaxy, ) Amplitude of the Matter P(k)
    (SDSS,s8)
  • Lyman-a forest independent measurement of
    power on small scales
  • Baryon acoustic oscillations (SDSS)
  • Bounds on parameters from other data SNIa (Om),
    HST (h),

Cosmological bounds on neutrino mass(es)
A unique cosmological bound on m? DOES NOT exist !
  • Different analyses have found upper bounds on
    neutrino masses, since they depend on
  • The combination of cosmological data used
  • The assumed cosmological model number of
    parameters (problem of parameter degeneracies)
  • The properties of relic neutrinos

  • CMB (TP) galaxy redshift surveys
  • CMB (TP) and CMB lensing
  • Weak lensing surveys
  • Weak lensing surveys CMB lensing

  • Fisher matrix analysis expected sensitivities

Conclusions
Cosmological observables can be used to bound
(or measure) the absolute scale of neutrino
masses. Information complementary to laboratory
results
?
Current bounds on the sum of neutrino masses
from cosmological data (best Sm?lt0.2-0.4 eV,
conservative Sm?lt1 eV)
Sub-eV sensitivity in the next future (0.1-0.2
eV and better) Test degenerate mass region
and eventually the IH case
