Ashis Kumar Pal, Tapomoy Guha Sarkar

摘要:

中性星系际介质在后再电离时代,使我们能够研究宇宙结构的形成,通过观察红移21厘米信号和莱曼α森林。我们研究了通过物质功率谱中功率的抑制来测量中微子总质量的可能性。我们调查的可能性测量中微子质量通过其印记的互相关功率谱的21厘米的信号和莱曼α森林。我们认为,无线电干涉测量的21厘米的信号与SKA 1-中像射电望远镜和BOSS像莱曼α森林调查。Fisher矩阵分析表明,在基准红移z = 2.5时,平均分布在25个射电点上的10,000小时21厘米观测值,以及在1 {deg}^[2]中有30条类星体视线的莱曼-α森林巡天,使我们能够测量3.25%水平的Ω_v。平均分布在25个无线电点上的总共25,000小时的无线电干涉观测和具有\bar n = 60 { \rm deg}^{-2}的莱曼-α测量将允许在2.26%的水平上测量Ω_v。这相当于在(100 \pm 2.26)meV的精度下对\sum m_v和f_v = Ω_v/ Ω_{m}的2.49%水平上的理想测量。

英文摘要:

The neutral intergalactic medium in the post reionization epoch allows us to study cosmological structure formation through the observation of the redshifted 21 cm signal and the Lyman-alpha forest. We investigate the possibility of measuring the total neutrino mass through the suppression of power in the matter power spectrum. We investigate the possibility of measuring the neutrino mass through its imprint on the cross-correlation power spectrum of the 21-cm signal and the Lyman-alpha forest. We consider a radio-interferometric measurement of the 21 cm signal with a SKA1-mid like radio telescope and a BOSS like Lyman-alpha forest survey. A Fisher matrix analysis shows that at the fiducial redshift z = 2.5, a 10,000 hrs 21-cm observation distributed equally over 25 radio pointings and a Lyman-alpha forest survey with 30 quasars lines of sights in 1 {deg}^2, allows us to measure Ω_ν at a 3.25 % level. A total of 25,000 hrs radio-interferometric observation distributed equally over 25 radio pointings and a Lyman-alpha survey with \bar n = 60 {\rm deg}^{-2} will allow Ω_ν to be measured at a 2.26 % level. This corresponds to an idealized measurement of \sum m_ν at the precision of (100 \pm 2.26) meV and f_ν= Ω_ν/ Ω_{m} at 2.49 % level.
