abstract
The clustering amplitude of 7143 clusters from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) is found to increase with cluster mass, closely agreeing with the Gaussian random field hypothesis for structure formation. The amplitude of the observed cluster correlation exceeds the predictions from pure cold dark matter (CDM) simulation by $\simeq 6\%$ for the standard Planck-based values of the cosmological parameters. We show that this excess can be naturally accounted for by free streaming of light neutrinos, which opposes gravitational growth, so clusters formed at fixed mass are fewer and hence more biased than for a pure CDM density field. An enhancement of the cluster bias by 7\% matches the observations, corresponding to a total neutrino mass, $m_{\nu} = 0.119 \pm 0.034$ eV at 67\% confidence level, for the standard relic neutrino density. If ongoing laboratory experiments favor a normal neutrino mass hierarchy then we may infer a somewhat larger total mass than the minimum oscillation based value, $\sum m_{\nu} \simeq 0.056eV$, with 90\% confidence. Much higher precision can be achieved by applying our method to a larger sample of more distant clusters with weak lensing derived masses.

Seesaw neutrinos with one right-handed singlet field and a second Higgs doublet
In the one-singlet seesaw plus two-Higgs-doublet model, the neutrino Yukawa couplings can be expressed analytically through the measured neutrino masses, the PMNS matrix, and only two free parameters, phi' and lambda_D.
