abstract

We reconstruct the neutrino mass as a function of redshift, z, from current cosmological data using both standard binned priors and linear spline priors with variable knots. Using cosmic microwave background temperature, polarization and lensing data, in combination with distance measurements from baryonic acoustic oscillations and supernovae, we find that the neutrino mass is consistent with $\sum m_\nu(z)$ = const. We obtain a larger bound on the neutrino mass at low redshifts coinciding with the onset of dark energy domination, $\sum m_\nu(z = 0)$ < 1.46 eV (95% CL). This result can be explained either by the well-known degeneracy between $\sum m_\nu$ and $\Omega_\Lambda$ at low redshifts, or by models in which neutrino masses are generated very late in the Universe. We finally convert our results into cosmological limits for models with non-relativistic neutrino decay and find $\sum m_\nu$ < 0.21 eV (95% CL), which would be out of reach for the KATRIN experiment.

    The CMB bound on the sum of neutrino masses comes mostly from the background energy density of massive neutrinos, not from their free-streaming effects.

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Neutrino long-range forces stronger than gravity would make the cosmic neutrino background collapse into bound states, and existing matter power spectrum and reionization data now exclude a band of couplings for force...

  4. Dynamic Neutrino Mass Ordering and Its Imprint on the Diffuse Supernova Neutrino Background

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A toy model where neutrino mass ordering flips with redshift reshapes the electron-neutrino part of the diffuse supernova neutrino background in an energy-dependent way, but the effect is below near-future experimental reach.
