Relic Neutrinos: Neutrino Properties from Cosmology
After a short introduction on the predicted cosmic neutrino background in the universe, we review some of the cosmological bounds related to neutrinos. In particular we show how the recent data on the anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background radiation from the WMAP satellite, combined with other experimental results, can constrain the radiation content of the universal energy density and...
متن کاملDetectability of the Supernova Relic Neutrinos and Neutrino Oscillation
We investigate the flux and the event rate of the supernova relic neutrino background (SRN) at the SuperKamiokande detector for various neutrino oscillation models with parameters inferred from recent experimental results. A realistic model of neutrino emission from supernova explosions and several models of the cosmic star formation history are adopted in the calculation. The number flux over ...
متن کاملEffective Mass Matrix for Light Neutrinos Consistent with Solar and Atmospheric Neutrino Experiments
We propose an effective mass matrix for light neutrinos which is consistent with the mixing pattern indicated by solar and atmospheric neutrino experiments. Two scenarios for the mass eigenvalues are discussed and the connection with double beta decay is noted. 96.60.Kx,14.60.Pq Typeset using REVTEX 1 There are significant hints for neutrino mass coming from solar [1] and atmospheric [2] neutri...
متن کاملUHE neutrino damping in a thermal gas of relic neutrinos
We present a calculation of the damping of an ultra-energetic (UHE) cosmic neutrino travelling through the thermal gas of relic neutrinos, using the formalism of finite-temperature field theory. From the self-energy diagram due to Z exchange, we obtain the annihilation cross section for an UHE neutrino interacting with an antineutrino from the background. This method allows us to derive the ful...
متن کاملDecays of Supernova Relic Neutrinos
We propose that future observation of supernova relic neutrino (SRN) can be used to probe neutrino decay models. We focus on invisible (e.g., Majoron) decays, and work out the general solution of SRN kinetic equations in the presence of oscillations plus decay. We then apply the general solution to specific decay scenario, and show that the predicted SRN event rate can span the whole range belo...
