Present day streaming motions of neutrinos relative to dark matter and baryons are several hundred km/s, comparable with their thermal velocity dispersion. This results in a unique dipole anisotropic distortion of the matter-neutrino cross power spectrum, which is observable through the dipole distortion in the cross correlation of different galaxy populations. Such a dipole vanishes if not for this relative velocity and so it is a clean signature for neutrino mass. We estimate the size of this effect and find that current and future galaxy surveys may be sensitive to these signature distortions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2014-07-10T21:05:46.000Z", "comment": "4 pages, 4 figures, 1 table, version2 with supplemental materials", "journal": null, "doi": null }, { "version": "v3", "updated": "2016-05-09T20:03:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "98.65.Dx", "14.60.Pq", "95.35.+d", "95.80.+p" ], "keywords": [ "relative velocity", "measurement", "dark matter", "unique dipole anisotropic distortion", "matter-neutrino cross power spectrum" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1103/PhysRevLett.113.131301", "journal": "Physical Review Letters", "year": 2014, "month": "Sep", "volume": 113, "number": 13, "pages": 131301, "publisher": "APS" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1264451, "adsabs": "2014PhRvL.113m1301Z" } } }
