Neutrino self-interactions delay the onset of free-streaming in the early universe, leaving distinct, scale-dependent signatures on the matter power spectrum. We investigate these signatures in post-reionization 21-cm intensity mapping and…

Sterile neutrinos in the keV mass range have long been considered a well-motivated dark matter (DM) candidate. In this work, we explore a sterile neutrino production mechanism through active neutrino self-interactions in the early universe,…

We update constraints on a simple model of self-interacting neutrinos involving a heavy scalar mediator with universal flavor coupling. According to past literature, such a model is allowed by Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) data, with…

We explore a self-interacting neutrino cosmology in which neutrinos experience a delayed onset of free-streaming. We use the effective field theory of large-scale structure (LSS) to model matter distribution on mildly non-linear scales…

We present new cosmological parameter constraints from the eBOSS Lyman-$\alpha$ forest survey. We use a new theoretical model and likelihood based on the PRIYA simulation suite. PRIYA is the first suite to resolve the Lyman-$\alpha$ forest…

The Ly-$\alpha$ forest 1D flux power spectrum is a powerful probe of several cosmological parameters. Assuming a $\Lambda$CDM cosmology including massive neutrinos, we find that the latest SDSS DR14 BOSS and eBOSS Ly-$\alpha$ forest data is…

This paper investigates resonant neutrino self-interactions in cosmology by employing, for the first time, the effective field theory of large-scale structure to model their impact on the matter distribution up to mildly nonlinear scales.…

We have updated the constraints on flavour universal neutrino self-interactions mediated by a heavy scalar, in the effective 4-fermion interaction limit. We use the relaxation time approximation to modify the collisional neutrino Boltzmann…

Nonstandard self-interactions can alter the evolution of cosmological neutrinos, mainly by damping free streaming, which should leave traces in cosmological observables. Although overall effects are opposite to those produced by neutrino…

Cosmological observations are becoming increasingly sensitive to the effects of light particles in the form of dark radiation (DR) at the time of recombination. The conventional observable of effective neutrino number, $N_{\rm eff}$, is…

We present constraints on neutrino masses, the primordial fluctuation spectrum from inflation, and other parameters of the $\Lambda$CDM model, using the one-dimensional Ly$\alpha$-forest power spectrum measured by Palanque-Delabrouille et…

We present new constraints on the scale dependence of the primordial power spectrum by combining Planck, ACT DR6, SPT-3G and eBOSS Lyman-$\alpha$ forest data, extending sensitivity to smaller comoving scales. While ACT results previously…
