Standard Relic Neutrinos Neutrinos in equilibrium fν(p,T)=fFD(p,T)
Neutrinos in Equilibrium 1 MeV T mμ Tν= Te = Tγ
Neutrino decoupling Tdec(νe) ~ 2.3 MeV Tdec(νμ,τ) ~ 3.5 MeV Decoupled Neutrinos fν(p)=fFD(p,Tν)
Neutrino and Photon temperatures At T~me, electron-positron pairs annihilate heating photons but not the decoupled neutrinos Decoupled neutrinos stream freely until non-relativistic

NEUTRINO MASS BOUNDS FROM COSMOLOGY Relic neutrinos Effect of neutrino mass on cosmological observables Current bounds and future sensitivities
Cosmological bounds on neutrino mass(es) A unique cosmological bound on mνDOES NOT exist ! • Different analyses have found upper bounds on neutrino masses, but they depend on • The assumed cosmological model: number of parameters (problem of parameter degeneracies) • The combination of cosmological data used
Cosmological Parameters: example SDSS Coll, PRD 69 (2004) 103501
Cosmological Data • CMB Temperature: WMAP plus data from other 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,σ8) • *Lyman-α forest: independent measurement of power on small scales • Priors on parameters from other data: SNIa (Ωm), HST (h), …

Conclusions Cosmological observables efficiently constrain some properties of (relic) neutrinos ν Bounds on the sum of neutrino masses from CMB + 2dFGRS or SDSS, and other cosmological data (best Σmν<0.42 eV, conservative Σmν<1 eV) Sub-eV sensitivity in the next future (0.1-0.2 eV and better) Test degenerate mass region and eventually the IH case
