The impact of dark matter-neutrino interactions on the measurement of the cosmological parameters has been investigated in the past in the context of massless neutrinos exclusively. Here we revisit the role of a neutrino-dark matter coupling in light of ongoing cosmological tensions by implementing the full Boltzmann hierarchy for three massive neutrinos. Our tightest 95% CL upper limit on the strength of the interactions, parameterized via $u_chi =frac{sigma_0}{sigma_{Th}}left(frac{m_chi}{100 text{GeV}}right)^{-1}$, is $u_chileq3.34 cdot 10^{-4}$, arising from a combination of Planck TTTEEE data, Planck lensing data and SDSS BAO data. This upper bound is, as expected, slightly higher than previous results for interacting massless neutrinos, due to the correction factor associated with neutrino masses. We find that these interactions significantly relax the lower bounds on the value of $sigma_8$ that is inferred in the context of $Lambda$CDM from the Planck data, leading to agreement within 1-2$sigma$ with weak lensing estimates of $sigma_8$, as those from KiDS-1000. However, the presence of these interactions barely affects the value of the Hubble constant $H_0$.
Astrophysical neutrinos travel long distances from their sources to the Earth traversing dark matter halos of clusters of galaxies and that of our own Milky Way. The interaction of neutrinos with dark matter may affect the flux of neutrinos. The rece
Boltzmann solvers are an important tool for the computation of cosmological observables in the linear regime. They involve solving the Boltzmann equation, followed by an integration in momentum space, to arrive at the desired fluid properties. This i
In this paper the non-linear effect of massive neutrinos on cosmological structures is studied in a conceptually new way. We have solved the non-linear continuity and Euler equations for the neutrinos on a grid in real space in $N$-body simulations,
We perform a detailed study of the weak interactions of standard model neutrinos with the primordial plasma and their effect on the resonant production of sterile neutrino dark matter. Motivated by issues in cosmological structure formation on small
New interactions of neutrinos can stop them from free streaming in the early Universe even after the weak decoupling epoch. This results in the enhancement of the primordial gravitational wave amplitude on small scales compared to the standard $Lambd
