Relic neutrino clustering and implications for their detection

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We study the gravitational clustering of big bang relic neutrinos onto existing cold dark matter and baryonic structures within the flat Λ\LambdaCDM 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.
