  1. Lepton asymmetry and neutrino hierarchy after Planck Lucia A. Popa Institute of Space Sciences, Bucharest 49th Rencontres de Moriond Lucia A. Popa March 22-29, 2014

  2. Tension between Planck constraints and local Universe measurements? • Planck found quite large changes in some parameters of the base ΛCDM model when compared with those from other astrophysical measurements: 49th Rencontres de Moriond Lucia A. Popa March 22-29, 2014

  6. Possible interpretation of the existing tension • Some sources of systematic error in cosmological measurements are not completely understood – Planck Collaboration (2013), Spergel et al. (2013) • Existing tension between different data-sets -Hou et al. (2013) • Extrapolation of CMB measurements (z~1000) to z=0 within the base ΛCMB model that can be inadequate or incomplete. • Extensions of the based ΛCMB model • massive neutrinos with • extra radiation energy density: Verde et al. (2013) 49th Rencontres de Moriond Lucia A. Popa March 22-29, 2014

  7. sterile neutrino with eV-mass scale required by the SBL data Gariazzo et al. (2013); Wyman et al. (2013) • phantom values of dark energy equation of state (w ∼ −1.2) or small positive curvature • Verde,Protopapas,Jimenez (2013)

  8. No single parameter extension to the baseline ΛCDM model helps to alleviate the tension 49th Rencontres de Moriond Lucia A. Popa March 22-29, 2014

  9. Lepton Asymmetric Universe ? • Affleck-Dine mechanism during or after reheating • Active-sterile neutrino oscillations after the electroweak phase transition • Large lepton asymmetry can postpone symmetry restoration in non- supersymmetric or supersymmetric models. chemical potential 49th Rencontres de Moriond Lucia A.

  10. LSS - delay of matter-radiation equality shifts the power spectrum turnover position toward larger scales, suppressing the power at small scales. 49th Rencontres de Moriond Lucia A. Popa March 22-29, 2014

  11. Neutrino freeze out earlier with direct effect on n-p interactions: sensitive to expansion rate BBN Aver et al. (2012) sensitive to n/p goes down goes down 49th Rencontres de Moriond Lucia A. Popa March 22-29, 2014

  19. Conclusions: • For all cosmological asymmetric models we find a preference of cosmological data for smaller values of active and sterile neutrino masses when compared with base ΛCDM case. • An increased tension between cosmological asymmetric models and short baseline neutrino oscillation data that favors a sterile neutrino with the mass of ∼ 1 eV. • For the case of degenerate massive neutrinos , tensions between direct determination of Hubble constant and cluster abundance are alleviated (at about 1.3 σ level) • Preference of cosmological data (at ~2 σ statistical significance) for normal neutrino hierarchy. Cosmological data favor the leptonic asymmetric extension of the base ΛCDM model and normal neutrino mass hierarchy over the models with additional sterile neutrino species and/or inverted neutrino mass hierarchy. 49th Rencontres de Moriond Lucia A.
