•Starlight from Galaxies•Stuff we are made of!!
•Light elements from early hot universe• Low CMB temperature fluctuations
•Accelerated expansion of the universe (High redshift SN)•Structure formation scenario compatible with observations
•Rotation of galaxies•Speeding galaxies in clusters•Gravitational lensing•Hot gas in clusters

What we know so farWhat we know so farFrom SNIa and CMB radiation observations, Our universe is almost flat, now accelerating. The dominance of a dark energy component
with negative pressure in the present era is responsible for the universe’s accelerated
expansion.

The connection between cosmological observations and neutrino physics is one of the interesting and hot topic in astro-particle physics.
Neutrino decouple from thermal contact in the early universe at the temperature of order 1 MeV which coincides with the temperature where light element synthesis occurs.
Precision observations of the cosmic microwave background and large scale structure of galaxies can be used to prove neutrino mass with greater precision than current laboratory experiments.

What physics is associated with this small energy scale ?? It is clearly a challenge to understand dynamically how the
small energy scale associated with dark-energy(DE) density aries and how it is connected to particle physics.

Why does the mass scale of neutrinos so small ?
about 10-3 eV ~ Eo: accidental or not ?
If not, are there any relation between Neutrinos and Dark Energy ?

Fardon, Nelson and Weiner suggested that tracks the energy density in neutrinos
The energy density in the dark sector has two-components:
The neutrinos and the dark-energy are coupled because it is assumed that dark energy density is a function of the mass of the neutrinos:

The FNW scenario is only consistent, if there is no kinetic contributions (K=0) and
the dark-energy is a pure running cosmological constant !!
