Cosmology and neutrino masses - an update
Present cosmological observations yield an upper bound on the neutrino mass which is significantly stronger than laboratory bounds. However, the exact value of the cosmological bound is model dependent and therefore less robust. Here, I review the current status of cosmological neutrino mass bounds and also discuss implications for sterile neutrinos and LSND in particular. PACS. XX.XX.XX No PAC...
متن کاملNeutrinos in Cosmology
The current status of neutrino cosmology is reviewed, from the question of neutrino decoupling and the presence of sterile neutrinos to the effects of neutrinos on the cosmic microwave background and large scale structure. Particular emphasis is put on cosmological neutrino mass measurements. Neutrinos in Cosmology 2
متن کاملParticle Physics from Stars
Low-mass particles such as neutrinos, axions, other Nambu-Goldstone bosons and gravitons are produced in the hot and dense interior of stars. Therefore, astrophysical arguments constrain the properties of these particles in ways which are often complementary to cosmological arguments and to laboratory experiments. This review provides an update on the most important stellar-evolution limits and...
متن کاملSummary of the 2003 Moriond Workshop on Electroweak Interactions and Unified Theories
The 2003 Moriond Workshop on Electroweak Interactions and Unified Theories covered a very rich, diverse array of recent results concerning neutrinos, astrophysics and cosmology, searches for new particles, Higgs physics, precision low-energy measurements, quark flavor physics, CP violation, and electroweak interactions. In this summary, we recapitulate some of the highlights. We update many of ...
متن کاملUpdated bounds on milli-charged particles
We update the bounds on fermions with electric charge e and mass m . For m . me we find 10−15 . < 1 is excluded by laboratory experiments, astrophysics and cosmology. For larger masses, the limits are less restrictive and depend on m . For milli-charged neutrinos, the limits are stronger, especially if the different flavors mix as suggested by current experimental evidence.
