Dynamical Role of Light Neutral Leptons in Cosmology
Using the Vlasov equation, we show that massive galactic halos cannot be composed of stable neutral leptons of mass < or approx. = 1 MeV. Since most of the mass in clusters of galaxies probably consists of stripped halos, we conclude that the ''missing mass'' in clusters does...

description | Using the Vlasov equation, we show that massive galactic halos cannot be composed of stable neutral leptons of mass < or approx. = 1 MeV. Since most of the mass in clusters of galaxies probably consists of stripped halos, we conclude that the ''missing mass'' in clusters does not consist of leptons of mass < or approx. = 1 MeV (e.g., muon or electron neutrinos). Lee and Weinberg's hypothetical heave leptons (mass approx. = 1 GeV) are not ruled out by this argument. |
