Cosmology: Neutrinos

Scientific paper

If neutrino masses are related by the see-saw relation and m(νμ) ≡ 2 - 3 eV, the τ-neutrino must be allowed to decay. Taking into account measurements of the cosmic expansion, which yield h ⪆ 0.8, the relativistic products of the decay of ντ can delay the equivalence as though it were h ≍ 0.3, so providing a transfer function easy to reconcile with LSS data. This result is obtainable also if the actual final contribution of νμ to the present cosmic density is as low as 4% of the critical density. Still keeping the above neutrino mass scale and h ≡ 0.8, alternative choices of physical parameters lead to an earlier equivalence and to a more significant hot component. Altogether, a whole class of models, with hot components characterized by 0.04 ⪉ Ωh ⪉ 5 0.2, can be devised, most of which can be expected to be in reasonable agreement with the data.
