摘要
Standard big bang cosmology predicts a cosmic neutrino background at T-nu similar or equal to 1.95 K. Given the current neutrino oscillation measurements, we know most neutrinos move at large, but non-relativistic, velocities. Therefore, dark matter haloes moving in the sea of primordial neutrinos form a neutrino wake behind them, which would slow them down, due to the effect of dynamical friction. In this paper, we quantify this effect for realistic haloes, in the context of the halo model of structure formation, and show that it scales as m(nu)(4)x relative velocity and monotonically grows with the halo mass. Galaxy redshift surveys can be sensitive to this effect (at >3 sigma confidence level, depending on survey properties, neutrino mass and hierarchy) through redshift space distortions of distinct galaxy populations.
