Neutrinos in Cosmology C. W. Kim KIAS The Johns Hopkins October 27, 2008
It is truly remarkable that we should have come so far in determining, from the passive collection of a small fraction of the photons that chance to come our way, the properties of neutrinos better than nuclear/particle physics has ever attempted in many decades. (CharlesBennett in Naturein 2006) 1
Neutrino : Pauli’particle Pauli to his friend Baade:1930 “Today I did something a physicist should never do. I predicted something which will never be observed experimentally…” 2
