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.
