Relic neutrino clustering and implications for their detection

Abstract

We study the gravitational clustering of big bang relic neutrinos onto existing cold dark matter and baryonic structures within the flat $\Lambda$CDM model. We then discuss the implications of clustering for scattering-based relic neutrino detection methods, ranging from flux detection via Cavendish-type torsion balances, to target detection using accelerator beams and cosmic rays.
