n mass and the Weakest force Impact of single neutrino masses ? Can we see the neutrino hierarchy in the sky ?
Parameterization: S, D, sgn(D) Solar splitting can be safely neglected ( < 1%)
P(k) dependence on D Numerical with CAMB
NH-IH quasi-degeneracy No distinguishable NH-IH Delta could be measured ! Handle to identify neutrinos
Can we see n-hierarchy in the sky? Full sky, variance-dominated Gal survey, 600 Gpc3 (z<2) WL survey (<z> < 3) 21cm HI, 2000 Gpc3 (z<5) 50 gal / sq-arcmin

n overdensity M=1015 Msun Large neutrino overdensity (~linear with cluster mass) Interesting region around Mpc scale Best observable: Convergence measured by Weak Lensing
Convergence Observable proportional to column density
Relative convergence due to n z=1 z=0.4 0.3 eV - 10^4 clusters to obtain a 5-s result Expected in a full-sky weak lensing survey N-body simulation (in progress): needed to confirm signal and study systematics
Facing the tiniest and the emptiest Voids : Underdense regions (z=0: from ~ 0 to ~ 0.3 times the mean density at 10 Mpc) Neutrinos make them smaller and denser : delay the rate at which DM is evacuated Density contrast decreases by 10% for S = 1eV Statistics of voids depends on S and s8 Observable: Lyman-a signature (quasar at z=2.2, z=4) of low density regions
High Transmission regions if the Ly-a forest N-body simulations 4500 random line of sight Compute transmitted flux Count weak absorption region
Sensitivity to neutrino mass PDF for the number of regions (100/h Mpc) above threshold Degeneracy could be broken by using several redshift quasar Study of systematics: calibrating the flux at weak absorption
Conclusions Cosmological neutrinos expected to be indirectly seen in cosmological data: Relativistic energy seeen in CMB, and total mass by CMB & LSS. Linear growth will be sensitive to the atmospheric splitting: handle to verify neutrino nature of the total mass effect. Difficult to distinguish NH from IH unless total mass < 0.1 eV. Study nonlinear effects: N-body simulations Neutrinos in clusters: Clean (mostly DM) but high precision needed ( < 1 %) Impact of neutrinos in voids: Not clean (baryons) but larger signal (~ 10%)
