The masses of the neutrinos

Abstract

If the cosmological limits on the sum of the neutrino masses are taken seriously we have first measurements of the masses of the neutrinos. Using the Planck experiment's limit Σi=13mi < 230 ~meV and some simple assumptions on measurement uncertainties the mass of the heaviest neutrino is 6311 ~meV and the lightest 4018 ~meV for either hierarchy.
