Abstract

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Collaboration has obtained robust measurements of baryon acoustic oscillations in the redshift range 0.1 < z < 4.2 , based on the Lyman- α forest and galaxies from data release 2. We combine these measurements with cosmic microwave background (CMB) data from and the Atacama Cosmology Telescope to place our tightest constraints yet on the sum of neutrino masses. Assuming the cosmological Λ CDM model and three degenerate neutrino states, we find ∑ m ν < 0.0642 eV (95%) with a marginalized error of σ ( ∑ m ν ) = 0.020 eV . We also constrain the effective number of neutrino species, finding N eff = 3.2 3 − 0.34 + 0.35 (95%),…
