Neutrino decoupling

As the Universe expands, particle densities are diluted and temperatures fall. Weak interactions become ineffective to keep neutrinos in good thermal contact with the e.m. plasma

•No free streaming (no anisotropic stress) leads to

smaller effects on LSS (for massive v’s)

•Change of sound speed and equation of state of the the titghlycoupled v - φ fluid

•v decays

Usual picture of Dark Matter: cold collisionless massive particles whichdecoupled around the weak scale for freeze-out of annihilation processes

Ex: neutralino in MSSM with mass of O(100 GeV)

Difficulties:

Excess of small scale structures

Far more satellite galaxies in the Milky Way than observed (from numericalsimulation)

Effects on cosmological scales: if DM - v’s scatterings at work duringLSS formation we expect an oscillating behavior in the power spectrum (analogous to baryon – photon fluid during CMB epoch)

Question: “Is it possible to detect/measure the CvB ?”

Answer: NO !

All the methods proposed so far require either strongtheoretical assumptions or experimental apparatushaving unrealistic performances

Relic Neutrino Detection

In the case of Tritium we estimate that 7.5 neutrino capture eventsper year are obtained using a total mass of 100 g

The cosmological relic neutrino capture rate is given by

Tν = 1.7 ⋅ 10-4 eV

after the integration over neutrino momentum and insertingnumerical values we obtain

Relic Neutrino Detectionsignal to background ratio

In the case of Tritium (and using nν=50) we found that

Taking into account the beta decays occurring in the last bin of width ∆at the spectum end-point we have that

The ratio between capture (λν) and beta decay rate (λβ) is obtainedusing the previous expressions

Relic Neutrino Detectiondiscovery potential

As an example, given a neutrino mass of 0.7 eV and anenergy resolution at the beta decay endpoint of 0.2 eVa signal to background ratio of 3 is obtained

In the case of 100 g mass target of Tritium it would takeone and a half year to observe a 5σ effect

In case of neutrino gravitational clustering we expect asignificant signal enhancement
