Abstract:
The neutrino mass sum is a fundamental particle physics parameter that will be measured cosmologically over the next several years, though a robust determination will require a precise theoretical understanding of neutrino clustering. Recently I developed a non-linear cosmological perturbation theoryfor massive neutrinos. It combines three ingredients: multi-fluid perturbation theories discretizing neutrinos' Fermi-Dirac distribution, non-linear coupling between different length scales, and Fast Fourier Transform acceleration. After motivating a consideration of neutrino masses larger than the recent DESI bound, I will describe the resulting neutrino power spectrum, includingits dependence upon time and neutrino momentum, and test it against N-bod simulations. Finally, I will discuss ongoing and planned work on observable weak lensing predictions and improvements to N-body neutrino simulations.
