Weighing Neutrinos with Galaxy Surveys

Open access
Hu, Wayne, Eisenstein, Daniel J., Tegmark, Max·1998·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

We show that galaxy redshift surveys sensitively probe the neutrino mass, with eV mass neutrinos suppressing power by a factor of 2. The Sloan Digital Sky Survey can potentially detect $N$ nearly degenerate massive neutrino species with mass ${m}_{\ensuremath{\nu}}\ensuremath{\gtrsim}0.65({\ensuremath{\Omega}}_{m}{h}^{2}/0.1N{)}^{0.8}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}\mathrm{eV}$ at better than $2\ensuremath{\sigma}$ once microwave background experiments measure two other cosmological parameters. Significant overlap exists between this region and that implied by the Liquid Scintillator Neutrino Detector experiment, and even ${m}_{\ensuremath{\nu}}\ensuremath{\sim}0.01--0.1\mathrm{eV}$, as implied by the atmospheric anomaly, can affect cosmological measurements.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
