Description

In the early universe, neutrinos are produced in equilibrium with the Standard Model plasma. As the universe cools these neutrinos freeze-out, and exist today as a thermal relic that we call the Cosmic Neutrino Background (CnuB). In this talk I will attempt to introduce the CnuB and derive its important properties, before giving a brief introduction to CnuB detection proposals.
