we investigate a scalar field dark energy model (i.e., ϕcdm model) with massive neutrinos, where the scalar field possesses an inverse power-law potential, i.e., v (ϕ) ∝ϕ-α (α > 0). we find that the sum of neutrino masses σmν has significant impacts on the cmb temperature power spectrum and on the matter power spect...

relativistic kinetic theory
the ev-scale sterile neutrino has been proposed to explain some anomalous results in experiments, such as the deficit of reactor neutrino fluxes and the excess of bar nuμ→bar nue in lsnd. this hypothesis can be tested by future core-collapse supernova neutrino detection independently since the active-sterile mixing sch...
constraining sterile neutrinos by core-collapse supernovae with multiple detectors
we revisit the rates of neutrino pair emission and absorption from nucleon-nucleon bremsstrahlung in supernova matter using the t-matrix formalism in the long-wavelength limit. based on two-body potentials of chiral effective field theory (χeft), we solve the lippmann-schwinger equation for the t-matrix including non-d...
