description

After a short introduction on the predicted cosmic neutrino background, we review the connection between neutrino masses and cosmology. We show how a combined analysis of data from the anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background radiation and from the distribution of cosmological large-scale structure gives a bound on the sum of neutrino masses. We briefly discuss the sensitivity of future cosmological data to neutrino masses.
