Cosmic Neutrino Background Zong-KuanGuo NCU, Taiwan, March 30, 2013
particles: history of the relic neutrinos ~0.3MeV ~0.1MeV ~1eV ~1MeV neutrino decoupling ee annihilation photon decoupling structure formation BBN the weak reaction rate: the expansion rate of the Universe: neutrino decoupling:
temperature: number density per flavor: energy density:
neutrino oscillation parameters:
neutrino properties • neutrino masses (massless, light or heavy?) • the effective number of neutrino species (sterile?) • the chemical potential (lepton asymmetry?) • Lorentz invariance violation • stability, non-standard decoupling, … cosmological observations • big-bang nucleosynthesis • cosmic microwave background anisotropies • large scale structure distribution
neutrino masses CMB: the early ISW effect LSS: velocity dispersion
eCMB: SPT2011+ACT2011 highL: ACT2013 + SPT2012 WP: WMAP9 polarization
neutrino species CMB: radiation density, the early ISW effect, anisotropic stress, enhanced damping tail BBN: an additional radiation energy density
chemical potential BBN: extra radiation energy density It shifts the equilibrium proton-to-neutron ratio
Lorentz invariance violation the deformed dispersion relation CMB: the Boltzmann equation in the synchronous gauge
BBN: the energy density the weak reaction rate in the Lorentz-violating extension of the Standard Model (D.Colladay, A.Kostelecky arXiv:hep-ph/9809521) data:
