abstract
Large, non-standard neutrino self-interactions have been shown to resolve the $\sim 4\sigma$ tension in Hubble constant measurements and a milder tension in the amplitude of matter fluctuations. We demonstrate that interactions of the necessary size imply the existence of a force-carrier with a large neutrino coupling ($> 10^{-4}$) and mass in the keV -- 100 MeV range. This mediator is subject to stringent cosmological and laboratory bounds, and we find that nearly all realizations of such a particle are excluded by existing data unless it carries spin 0 and couples almost exclusively to $\tau$-flavored neutrinos. Furthermore, we find that the light neutrinos must be Majorana, and that a UV-complete model requires a non-minimal mechanism to simultaneously generate neutrino masses and appreciable self-interactions.

Probing Neutrinophilic Long-Range Forces at DUNE
DUNE's long baseline can exclude previously unexplored regions of neutrinophilic long-range force parameter space and map them onto cosmologically relevant neutrino self-interaction strengths.

Widen the Resonance at Ultra-High Energies: Novel Probes of Neutrino Self-interactions in the High-Mass Regime
If one neutrino species in the cosmic neutrino background is still relativistic today, UHE neutrinos scattering off it can resonantly disappear over a broad energy range, and GRAND could detect that dip to probe neutr...

New Constraints on Neutrino-Dark Matter Interactions: A Comprehensive Analysis
Most benchmark neutrino-dark matter couplings adopted in previous studies are excluded when laboratory meson and Z decay bounds are combined with cosmological and astrophysical constraints, leaving only special galact...

Searching for neutrino polarizability at DUNE
DUNE's near detector could probe new parameter space for enhanced neutrino polarizability in light-scalar models, mainly through single-forward-shower events from coherent argon scattering.

Constraining self-interacting ultrahigh-energy muon neutrinos by cosmic microwave background spectral distortion
Scalar-mediated scattering of PeV muon neutrinos on the cosmic neutrino background injects photon energy that distorts the CMB, giving coupling bounds g_nu_mu of about 10^-4 to 10^-5 with projected PIXIE sensitivities...

The Hubble tension: A decade review
Pure early or late fixes to the Hubble tension are tightly constrained; remaining options are combined early-late interacting dark energy or new physics at the local-to-homogeneous transition.
