Massive cosmological neutrinos suppress the Large-Scale Structure (LSS) in the Universe by smoothing the cosmic over-densities, and hence structure formation is delayed relative to that in the standard Lambda-Cold Dark Matter ($\Lambda$CDM)…

As the increasing of neutrino energy or matter density, the neutrino oscillation in matter may undergo "vacuum-dominated", "resonance" and "matter-dominated" three different stages successively. Neutrinos endure very different matter…
Simulation of the cosmic clustering of massive neutrinos is a daunting task, due both to their large velocity dispersion and to their weak clustering power becoming swamped by Poisson shot noise. We present a new approach, the multi-fluid…
Perturbation theory is a powerful tool for studying large-scale structure formation in the universe and calculating observables such as the power spectrum or bispectrum. However, beyond linear order, typically this is done by assuming a…
