Abstract:

Unlike solar oscillations experiments, cosmological data can constraint
the absolute mass scale of neutrinos.
Recent studies of dark matter halo formation in cosmologies with massive
neutrinos indicate there should be scale-dependent effects on scales of
order the neutrino free-streaming scale.
I will discuss a simple approximation which can be used to capture most
of this effect.
