Tension between Planck constraints and local Universe measurements?

• Planck found quite large changes in some parameters of the base ΛCDM model when compared with those from other astrophysical measurements:

Possible interpretation of the existing tension

• Some sources of systematic error in cosmological measurements are not completely understood – Planck Collaboration (2013), Spergel et al. (2013)

• Existing tension between different data-sets -Hou et al. (2013)

• Extrapolation of CMB measurements (z~1000) to z=0 within the base ΛCMB model that can be inadequate or incomplete.

Lepton Asymmetric Universe ?

• Affleck-Dine mechanism during or after reheating • Active-sterile neutrino oscillations after the electroweak phase transition• Large lepton asymmetry can postpone symmetry restoration in non- supersymmetric or supersymmetric models.

Conclusions:

• For all cosmological asymmetric models we find a preference of cosmological data for smaller values of active and sterile neutrino masses when compared with base ΛCDM case.

• An increased tension between cosmological asymmetric models and short baseline neutrino oscillation data that favors a sterile neutrino with the mass of ∼ 1 eV.

• For the case of degenerate massive neutrinos , tensions between direct determination of Hubble constant and cluster abundance are alleviated (at about 1.3 σ level)

• Preference of cosmological data (at ~2 σ statistical significance) for normal neutrino hierarchy.

Cosmological data favor the leptonic asymmetric extension of the base ΛCDM model and normal neutrino mass hierarchy over the models with additional sterile neutrino species and/or inverted neutrino mass hierarchy.
