Non-linear Power Spectrum including Massive Neutrinos: the Time-RG Flow Approach

Lesgourgues, J., Matarrese, S., Pietroni, M. et al.

Understand

Future large scale structure observations are expected to be sensitive to small neutrino masses, of the order of 0.05 eV or more.

  • However, forecasts are based on the assumption that by the time at which these datasets will be available, the non-linear spectrum in presence of neutrino mass will be predicted with an accuracy at least equal to the neutrino mass effect itself, i.e.
  • about 3%.
  • Motivated by these considerations, we present the computation of the non-linear power spectrum of LambdaCDM models in the presence of massive neutrinos using the Renormalization Group time-flow approach, which amounts to a resummation of perturbative corrections to the matter power spectrum to all orders.
