Abstract In the context of forthcoming galaxy surveys, to ensure unbiased constraints on cosmology and gravity when using non-linear structure information, percent-level accuracy is required when modelling the power spectrum. This calls for frameworks that can accurately capture the relevant physical effects, while allowing for deviations from ΛCDM. Massive neutrino and baryonic physics are two of the most relevant such effects. We present an integration of the halo model reaction frameworks for massive neutrinos and beyond-ΛCDM cosmologies. The integrated halo model reaction, combined with a pseudo power spectrum modelled by HMCode2020 is then compared against N-body simulations that include both massive neutrinos and an f(R) modification to gravity. We find that the framework is 4 per cent accurate down to at least k ≈ 3 h Mpc−1 for a modification to gravity of |fR0| ≤ 10−5 and for the total neutrino mass Mν ≡ ∑mν ≤ 0.15 eV. We also find that the framework is 4 per cent consistent with EuclidEmulator2 as well as the Bacco emulator for most of the considered νwCDM cosmologies down to at least k ≈ 3 h Mpc−1. Finally, we compare against hydrodynamical simulations employing HMCode2020’s baryonic feedback modelling on top of the halo model reaction. For νΛCDM cosmologies we find 2 per cent accuracy for Mν ≤ 0.48 eV down to at least k ≈ 5h Mpc−1. Similar accuracy is found when comparing to νwCDM hydrodynamical simulations with Mν = 0.06 eV. This offers the first non-linear, theoretically general means of accurately including massive neutrinos for beyond-ΛCDM cosmologies, and further suggests that baryonic, massive neutrino and dark energy physics can be reliably modelled independently.

AbstractWe study visible neutrino decay at the reactor neutrino experiments KamLAND and, JUNO. Assuming the Majoron model of neutrino decay, we obtain constraints on the couplings between Majoron and neutrino as well as on the lifetime/mass of the most massive neutrino state i.e., $$\tau _{3} / m_{3}$$ τ 3 / m 3 or $$\tau _{2} / m_{2}$$ τ 2 / m 2 , respectively, for the normal or the inverted mass orderings. We obtain the constraints on the lifetime $$\tau _{2} / m_{2} \ge 1.4 \times 10^{-9}~{\mathrm{s/eV}}$$ τ 2 / m 2 ≥ 1.4 × 10 - 9 s / eV in the inverted mass ordering for both KamLAND and JUNO at 90% CL. In the normal ordering in which the bound can be obtained for JUNO only, the constraint is milder than the inverted ordering case, $$\tau _{3} / m_{3} \ge 1.0 \times 10^{-10}$$ τ 3 / m 3 ≥ 1.0 × 10 - 10  s/eV at 90% CL. We find that the dependence of lightest neutrino mass ($$=m_{{{\mathrm{lightest}}}}$$ = m lightest ), $$m_1 (m_3)$$ m 1 ( m 3 ) for the normal (inverted) mass ordering, on the constraints for the different types of couplings (scalar or pseudo-scalar) is rather strong, but the $$m_{{{\mathrm{lightest}}}}$$ m lightest dependence on the lifetime/mass bound is only modest.

ABSTRACT We present a precise analysis to test hypothetical models involving sterile neutrinos beyond the standard flat-ΛCDM cosmology with the CMB observations from the Planck mission and BAO measurements. This analysis shows that adding the locally measured Hubble parameter H0  = 73.00 ± 1.75 km s−1 Mpc−1 to the data removes the need for the informative physical $m_{\mathrm{ sterile}}^{\mathrm{ thermal}}$ prior in CMB constraints of $m_{\nu ,\mathrm{ sterile}}^{\mathrm{ eff}}$. Under the constraints from the data containing the locally measured H0 we obtain an upper limit $m_{\nu ,\mathrm{ sterile}}^{\mathrm{ eff}} \lt 0.306$ eV scale mass for the massive sterile neutrino, and an upper limit Σmν < 0.214 eV scale mass for the three degenerate massive neutrino (95 per cent confidence level). We also obtain the value σ8  = $0.81^{+0.05}_{-0.06}$ (95 per cent confidence level), which is in compatibility with the constraints from Planck 2015 CMB data at the 1σ level. We find that introducing parameter $m_{\nu ,\mathrm{ sterile}}^{\mathrm{ eff}}$ to the model of cosmology reduces the σ8 value and moves it closer to the obtained value for this parameter from the KiDS-450 analysis. Our results show that the locally measured Hubble parameter can increase constraints on σ8 values.

We estimate the velocity field in a large set of N-body simulations including massive neutrino particles, and measure the auto-power spectrum of the velocity divergence field as well as the cross-power spectrum between the cold dark matter density and the velocity divergence. We perform these measurements at four different redshifts and within four different cosmological scenarios, covering a wide range in neutrino masses. We find that the nonlinear correction to the velocity power spectra largely depends on the degree of nonlinear evolution with no specific dependence on the value of neutrino mass. We provide a fitting formula based on the value of the rms of the matter fluctuations in spheres of 8 h−1 Mpc, describing the nonlinear corrections with 3% accuracy on scales below k = 0.7 h Mpc−1.
