How neutrinos suppress cosmic fluctuation growth

•If all the matter can cluster: a

Net growth until today: atoday/aprimordial ≈ 4700p ≈ 4700 e-4f

Power suppression: P(k)/P(k)primordial ≈ e-8f

f≈ ∑ mi /94.4 eV dm ≈ ∑ m

i /12 eV,So 1 eV cuts power in half.

•If only a fraction * can cluster: ap, where

p=[(1+24 *)-1]/4≈ *3/5 ≈ (1-f)3/5

(Bond, Efstathiou & Silk 1980)

Distinguish neutrinos from dark energy by time and scale dependence.
