Measuring cosmological parameters
Boomzoom How neutrinos suppress cosmic fluctuation growth • If all the matter can cluster: da • If only a fraction W* can cluster: dap, where • p=[(1+24 W*)-1]/4≈ W*3/5 ≈ (1-fn)3/5 • (Bond, Efstathiou & Silk 1980) Net growth until today: atoday/aprimordial ≈ 4700p ≈ 4700 e-4fn Power suppression: P(k)/P(k)primordial ≈ e-8fn fn≈ ∑ mni /94.4 eV wdm ≈ ∑ mni /12 eV, So 1 eV cuts power in half. Distinguish neutrinos from dark energy by time and scale dependence.

THE FUTURE It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future. Yogi Berra
Boomzoom Now: • WMAP CMB + SDSS gals & LyaF: ∑ mni < 0.4 eV Seljak et al, astro-ph/0407372, Goobar et al astro-ph/0602155 Future: • Planck CMB + LSST lensing: s(∑ mni) ~ 0.04 eV E.g., Hu & Tegmark astro-ph/9811168, Hu astro-ph/9904153, Hannestad et al, astro-ph/0603019
