Description
Name the new concept
Cosmic Neutrino Background (preferred)
Alternative terms:
CvB
Relic neutrinos
CNB
Describe the concept
"The theoretical low-energy neutrinos that decoupled from the rest of matter about two seconds after the Big Bang when the temperature dropped to approximately 2.5 MeV (redshift of z ~ 6 ×109). The CNB is similar to the cosmic microwave background (CMB), but older. It is estimated that today the CNB has a temperature of Tν = (4/11)1/3Tγ, ~ 1.95 K (or 1.67 × 10-4 eV), where Tγ is the CMB temperature of 2.728 K."
