The connection between cosmology and neutrino physics
arXiv:1003.4119
Abstract
Cosmology provides a unique and very powerful laboratory for testing neutrino physics. Here, I review the current status of cosmological neutrino measurements. Future prospects are also discussed, with particular emphasis on the interplay with experimental neutrino physics. Finally I discuss the possibility of a direct detection of the cosmic neutrino background and its associated anisotropy.
