Primordial Neutrinos in Astrophysics The connection between cosmological observations and neutrino physics is one of the interesting and hot topic in astro-particle physics. The connection between cosmological observations and neutrino physics is one of the interesting and hot topic in astro-particle physics. Precision observations of the cosmic microwave background and large scale structure of galaxies can be used to prove neutrino mass with greater precision than current laboratory experiments.

Now we enter the era of Precision Neutrino Measurement Science (PMNS era). What do we hope to learn and which information is likely to teach us more about new physics than others. Four most useful items for probing new physics: Search for neutrinoless double beta decays Determined the sign of atmospheric mass difference square (neutrino mass hierarchy) the magnitude of establish or refute the existence of sterile neutrinos.

Tritium beta decays Most sensitive to the electron neutrino mass Since tritium beta-decay has one of the smallest Q-values among all known beta decays: (1) (1) Superallowed transition between mirror nuclei with a relatively short half-life time (~12.3 years) An acceptable number of observed events (2) (2) Atomic structure is less complicated, which leading to a more accurate calculation of atomic effects.

The observationof the 0 nbb decay with |m bb | > 4.5 10 -2 eV will exclude normal hierarchy. The observationof the 0 nbb decay with |m bb | > 4.5 10 -2 eV will exclude normal hierarchy. If the 0 nbb decay will be observed and If the 0 nbb decay will be observed and it will be an indication of the inverted hierarchy it will be an indication of the inverted hierarchy Remarks: It is really difficult to confirm the normal hierarchy in neutrinoless double beta decay.

The role played by neutrinos: T dec ~ few m e dominant e-/e+ photons Tg = 2.73 K T v = 1.96 K = 0.17 meV present neutrino number density: Since T v is smaller than the neutrino mass scale, CMB neutrinos are today mostly non-relativisitic: Present data: H=100 h km/s Mpc with h=0.7
23
The total energy density in relativistic particles: T~0.3eV; with Nv = 3 (small corrections from the approximation Nv=3.04) Measurements of CMB anisotropies allow to reconstruct Nv in two different ways: a) from the total energy density in relativisitic particles ( r rad ) significantly contributes to the measurable expansion rate around recombination b) the energy density in freely moving relativistic ptls (like neutrinos and unlike photons) can be reconstructed, they smooth out inhomogeneities (p= the fraction of freely moving neutrinos) We remark that these cosmological data cannot measure the relative weight of each neutrino flavor, and cannot discriminate neutrinos from other speculative free- moving relativistic particles.

Neutrino free-stream : If r n is carried by free-moving relativistic particles, If r n is carried by free-moving relativistic particles, we can discriminate between massless vs massive,and we can discriminate between massless vs massive,and between free vs interacting neutrinos. between free vs interacting neutrinos.

Neutrino mass effects After neutrinos decoupled from the thermal bath, they stream freely and their density pert. are damped on scale smaller than their free streaming scale. After neutrinos decoupled from the thermal bath, they stream freely and their density pert. are damped on scale smaller than their free streaming scale. The free streaming effect suppresses the power spectrum on scales smaller than the horizon when the neutrino become non- relativistic. The free streaming effect suppresses the power spectrum on scales smaller than the horizon when the neutrino become non- relativistic. Pm(k)/Pm(k) = -8 Ω /Ω m Pm(k)/Pm(k) = -8 Ω /Ω m Analysis of CMB data are not sensitive to neutrino masses if neutrinos behave as massless particles at the epoch of last scattering. Neutrinos become non-relativistic before last scattering when Ω h^2 > 0.017 (total nu. Masses > 1.6 eV). Therefore the dependence of the position of the first peak and the height of the first peak has a turning point at Ω h^2 = 0.017.
