Recent findings from DESI BAO combined with Planck CMB data have set an upper limit on the total neutrino mass of $\sum m_\nu < 0.072\, \text{eV}$ (95% confidence level), ruling out the inverted hierarchy. Indeed, methods that rely on the…

Recent baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) distance measurements, when combined with Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) observations in the $\Lambda$CDM framework, lead to a preference for negative neutrino masses. We investigate whether this…
