Number density of a relativistic neutrino relative to photons

ID: number-density-of-a-relativistic-neutrino-relative-to-photons

With negligible chemical potential, the Fermi-Dirac distribution has of the boson number density per degree of freedom at equal temperature. A species with populated states therefore has , since photons have two states. This remains the number-density ratio after the neutrino becomes massive if its comoving particle number is conserved.
