Neutrinos in an expanding Universe
نویسنده
چکیده
The Universe contains several billion neutrinos for each nucleon. In this paper, we follow the history of these relic neutrinos as the Universe expanded. At present, their typical velocity is a few hundred km/s and, therefore, their spectra are affected by gravitational forces. This may have led to a phenomenon that could explain two of todays great mysteries: The large-scale structure of the Universe and the increasing rate at which it expands.

Evolution of Information and Complexity in an Ever-Expanding Universe
Using the usual definitions of information and entropy in quantum gravity and statistical mechanics and the existing views about the relation between information and complexity, we examine the evolution of complexity in an ever expanding universe.

متن کامل0 High - energy neutrino conversion and the lepton asymmetry in the universe
We study matter effects on oscillations of high-energy neutrinos in the Universe. Substantial effect can be produced by scattering of the neutrinos from cosmological sources (z > ∼ 1) on the relic neutrino background, provided that the latter has large CP-asymmetry: η ≡ (n ν − n ¯ ν)/n γ > ∼ 1, where n ν , n ¯ ν and n γ are the concentrations of neutrinos, antineutrinos and photons. We consider...

متن کاملNeutrinos in cosmology
Cosmological implications of neutrinos are reviewed. The following subjects are discussed at a different level of scrutiny: cosmological limits on neutrino mass, neutrinos and primordial nucleosynthesis, cosmological constraints on unstable neutrinos, lepton asymmetry of the universe, impact of neutrinos on cosmic microwave radiation, neutrinos and the large scale structure of the universe, neu...
