Cosmological neutrinos have their greatest influence in voids: These are the regions with the highest neutrino to dark matter density ratios. The marked power spectrum can be used to emphasize low-density regions over high-density regions and, therefore, is potentially much more sensitive than the power spectrum to the effects of neutrino masses. Using 22 000 N-body simulations from the Quijote suite, we quantify the information content in the marked power spectrum of the matter field and show… CONTINUE READING
