Neutrinos 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 neut...

More Information
Summary: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, neutrino oscillations in the early universe, baryo/leptogenesis and neutrinos, neutrinos and high-energy cosmic rays, and briefly some more exotic subjects: neutrino balls, mirror neutrinos, and neutrinos from large extra dimensions.
