Primordial Neutrinos and New Physics: Novel Approach to Solving the Neutrino Boltzmann Equation
Maksym Ovchynnikov, Vsevolod SyvolapUnderstanding how new physics influences the dynamics of cosmic neutrinos during their decoupling is crucial in light of upcoming precise cosmological observations and the need to reconcile cosmological and laboratory probes. Existing approaches to solving the neutrino Boltzmann equation are often model dependent, computationally inefficient, and yield contradictory results. To solve this problem, we introduce a novel method to comprehensively study neutrino dynamics. We apply this method to several case studies, resolving the discrepancy in the literature about the impact of nonthermal neutrinos on
