Gravitational clustering of cosmic relic neutrinos in the Milky Way

In order to detect relic neutrinos in the vicinity of the Earth, quantitative knowledge of the gravitational clustering effects on cosmic relic neutrinos in the Milky Way is necessary. Here, the authors develop a computational method capable of yielding neutrino density profiles for different neutri...
