作为大尺度结构模拟中流体集合的宇宙中微子背景

The cosmic neutrino background as a collection of fluids in large-scale structure simulations

Joe Zhiyu Chen, Amol Upadhye, Yvonne Y. Y. Wong

摘要:

将大质量中微子建模为热暗物质的一个重大挑战是它的大速度色散。在这项工作中,我们调查和实施的多流体微扰理论,将宇宙中微子人口作为一个集合的流体具有广泛的体积速度。这些流体线性地响应冷物质的聚集,其可以是线性的并且由标准线性微扰理论描述,或者是非线性的,使用高阶微扰理论或N体模拟描述。我们验证,这样一个替代治疗中微子扰动同意密切与国家的最先进的中微子线性响应计算的功率谱和双谱预测。结合多流体中微子的线性响应与非线性计算的冷物质集群,我们发现一个参考nuLambdaCDM宇宙学与中微子质量总和为0.93 eV的增强的小尺度中微子功率的一个数量级相对于一个纯粹的线性计算。然而,在冷物质中相应的聚集增强是适度的~ 0.05%。重要的是,我们的多流体方法独特地使我们能够识别出移动最慢的25%的中微子群体集群足够强大,足以保证非线性处理。这样一个精确的计算伴随着细粒度的速度信息的小尺度上的中微子集群将是非常宝贵的实验,如PNOMMY探测太阳附近的局部中微子密度和速度。

英文摘要:

A significant challenge for modelling the massive neutrino as a hot dark matter is its large velocity dispersion. In this work, we investigate and implement a multi-fluid perturbation theory that treats the cosmic neutrino population as a collection of fluids with a broad range of bulk velocities. These fluids respond linearly to the clustering of cold matter, which may be linear and described by standard linear perturbation theory, or non-linear, described using either higher-order perturbation theory or N-body simulations. We verify that such an alternative treatment of neutrino perturbations agrees closely with state-of-the-art neutrino linear response calculations in terms of power spectrum and bispectrum predictions. Combining multi-fluid neutrino linear response with a non-linear calculation for the cold matter clustering, we find for a reference nuLambdaCDM cosmology with neutrino mass sum of 0.93 eV an enhancement of the small-scale neutrino power by an order of magnitude relative to a purely linear calculation. The corresponding clustering enhancement in the cold matter, however, is a modest ~0.05%. Importantly, our multi-fluid approach uniquely enables us to identify that the slowest-moving 25% of the neutrino population clusters strongly enough to warrant a non-linear treatment. Such a precise calculation of neutrino clustering on small scales accompanied by fine-grained velocity information would be invaluable for experiments such as PTOLEMY that probe the local neutrino density and velocity in the solar neighbourhood.
