| Description |
By now bored with the successes of our own standard model, cosmologists yearn for evidence of something new, indicating, e.g., that dark energy is not a cosmological constant, or that the primordial density inhomogeneities have unexpected statistical properties. Recently there has been excitement, feverish in some quarters, about the possibility of extra species of neutrinos. I will tell the story of my own few-month-long bout with neutrino fever. I will pay particular attention to signatures of neutrinos in the cosmic microwave background while also weaving in some evidence from reactors, accelerator-created neutrinos, and observations of Helium in extragalactic gas clouds. |
