Understand

In this work we investigate the possibility that dark matter and (massive) neutrinos can interact via a simple, constant cross section.

Building on previous numerical efforts, we constrain this model with CMB, BAO and, in particular, Lyman-$\alpha$ data.
We find that the latter hint to a significant departure from $\Lambda$CDM, with a preference for an interaction strength about 3$\sigma$ away from zero.
We trace the origin of this preference back to the additional tilt that the interacting scenario can imprint on the Lyman-$\alpha$ flux power spectrum, solving a well-known tension in the determination of this quantity between early-time and Lyman-$\alpha$ probes.
