Equivalent Neutrinos and Dark Radiation

by Dr. Basudeb Dasgupta (ICTP, Trieste, Italy)

Thursday, May 8, 2014 from to (Asia/Kolkata)
at Colaba Campus ( AG69 )
Description
In this talk, I will explain how the cosmic microwave background is
sensitive to the presence of neutrinos and dark radiation, and how
minor changes, e.g., an interaction via a new gauge field, can "hide"
these particles. I will show that, quite remarkably, this also
ameliorates long-standing problems in structure-formation at galactic 
scales.
