Generalized Boltzmann hierarchy for massive neutrinos in cosmology

نویسندگان

چکیده

Boltzmann solvers are an important tool for the computation of cosmological observables in linear regime. In presence massive neutrinos, they involve solving equation followed by integration momentum space to arrive at desired fluid properties, a procedure which is known be computationally slow. this work we introduce so-called generalized hierarchy (GBH) neutrinos cosmology, alternative usual hierarchy, where dependence integrated out leaving us with two-parameter infinite set ordinary differential equations. Along expansion multipoles, there now also higher velocity weight integrals distribution function. Using toy code, show that GBH produces density contrast neutrino transfer function $\lesssim 0.5\%$ accuracy both large and intermediate scales compared free-streaming scale, thus providing proof-of-principle GBH. We comment on implementation state art solver.

Massive Neutrinos in Cosmology

There are two places in cosmology where the mass of neutrinos would play a significant role. One is leptogenesis in the early universe, and the other is the evolution of mass density fluctuations that are explored with cosmic microwave background (CMB) fluctuations and the formation of cosmic structure. There is one more place where the presence of neutrinos is generally important — primordial ...

Massive neutrinos and cosmology

The present experimental results on neutrino flavour oscillations provide evidence for non-zero neutrino masses, but give no hint on their absolute mass scale, which is the target of beta decay and neutrinoless double-beta decay experiments. Crucial complementary information on neutrino masses can be obtained from the analysis of data on cosmological observables, such as the anisotropies of the...

Generalized Boltzmann formalism for oscillating neutrinos

In the standard approaches to neutrino transport in the simulation of core-collapse supernovas, one will often start from the classical Boltzmann equation for the neutrino’s spatial, temporal, and spectral evolution. For each neutrino species, and its anti-particle, the classical density in phase space, or the associated specific intensity, will be calculated as a function of time. The neutrino...

Ific/05-24 Massive Neutrinos and Cosmology

Cosmology can provide information on the absolute scale of neutrino masses, complementary to the results of tritium beta decay and neutrinoless double beta decay experiments. We show how the analysis of data from the anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background radiation and from the distribution of cosmological large-scale structure, combined with other experimental results, provides an upp...

Problems and Challenges for Cosmology.. Involving Massive Neutrinos *

I review the challenges and problems facing the standard cosmological model, involving an Ω = 1 Universe dominated by non-baryonic dark matter, which arise due to: age estimates of the universe, estimates of the baryon fraction of the universe, and structure formation. Certain of these problems are exacerbated, and certain of these are eased, by the inclusion of some component to the energy den...
