Sergio Pastor: Light Neutrinos in Cosmology

Lectures from Sergio Pastor, IFIC Valencia

Light neutrinos in Cosmology

Abstract:

Neutrinos can play an important role in the evolution of the Universe, modifying some of the cosmological observables. At the same time, the precision of present cosmological data can be used to learn about neutrino properties, in particular the absolute value of their mass, providing complementary information to terrestrial experiments.
