N-body simulation with varying neutrino mass

In summary, the conversation revolves around finding a picture of N-body simulations showing the LSS with varying neutrino masses without the CDM. Suggestions are made to search at arXiv and to look for institutions, collaborations, and professors on the website. It is also noted that the images the person already has may provide the answer to their question.

I am trying to find a picture of the N-body simulations that shows the LSS. Particularly I am looking for different neutrino masses without the CDM. For instance pictures likes this But with more varying/different neutrino masses. I am looking for articles

I assume that you know how to do searches at arXiv. https://arxiv.org/ Not sure where else it would make sense to look. Maybe locate institutions and collaborations and professors on arxiv that are doing N-body simulations and then search the institutional or collaboration or professional individual websites? The images you already have seem to answer your own question.
 

1. What is an N-body simulation?

An N-body simulation is a computational technique used in physics and astronomy to study the motion and interactions of a large number of particles, such as stars or galaxies, under the influence of gravity. It involves solving the equations of motion for each particle in the system and tracking their positions and velocities over time.

2. How does a varying neutrino mass affect an N-body simulation?

Varying neutrino mass can have a significant impact on the results of an N-body simulation, as neutrinos are one of the fundamental particles that make up the universe. Changes in their mass can affect the overall gravitational interactions in the simulation, leading to different outcomes and potentially altering our understanding of the evolution of the universe.

3. Why is it important to include neutrino mass in N-body simulations?

Neutrinos are one of the most abundant particles in the universe and their mass can have a significant impact on the structure and evolution of large-scale cosmic structures. Including neutrino mass in N-body simulations allows for a more accurate representation of the universe and can help us better understand its formation and evolution.

4. What challenges are involved in performing N-body simulations with varying neutrino mass?

One of the main challenges in N-body simulations with varying neutrino mass is the computational complexity and time required to accurately model the interactions of a large number of particles. Additionally, the precise measurement of neutrino mass is still an area of active research, which can make it difficult to accurately incorporate into simulations.

5. How can N-body simulations with varying neutrino mass help us understand the universe?

N-body simulations with varying neutrino mass can provide valuable insights into the structure and evolution of the universe, helping us to better understand the role of neutrinos in shaping our cosmic environment. By comparing the results of simulations with different neutrino mass values, we can gain a deeper understanding of the underlying physics and potentially uncover new insights into the fundamental nature of the universe.
