Abstract: (arXiv)
With the latest astronomical data including Cosmic Microwave Background (WMAP three year, CBI, ACBAR, VSA), Type Ia Supernova (gold sample), galaxy clustering (SDSS 3-D matter power, Lyman- forest and Baryon Acoustic Oscillating (BAO)), we make a global fitting to constrain the mass varying neutrinos. We find the parameter denoting time evolving of neutrino mass is weakly constrained and the neutrino mass limit today can be relaxed at least by a factor of 2. Adding data of decay of Heidelberg-Moscow experiment to our analysis, we find can be measured and mass varying neutrinos are favored at about 99.7% confidence level.Note:
