Limit on the rest masses from big bang cosmology

  • Published:
Acta Physica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae

Abstract

The age of the Universe and the Hubble deceleration of galaxies depends upon the average mass density. The temperature of the electromagnetic background radiation determines also the neutrino particle density. These empirical informations put an upper limit on the rest masses of the neutrinos, which are more restrictive than the laboratory values.
