Critical-density mass of a thermal relic neutrino ($m_{\nu }=\frac{11\pi }{16\zeta (3)}{H}_0^2{M}_P^2/T_{\gamma 0}^3$)

A standard thermal Cosmic neutrino background with one populated neutrino and one antineutrino helicity per species has $n_{\nu }+n_{\bar{\nu }}=3n_{\gamma }/11$ after electron-positron annihilation in cosmology. If this species is nonrelativistic today and dominates a spatially flat matter universe, equate $m_{\nu }(n_{\nu }+n_{\bar{\nu }})$ to the critical density $3H_0^2{M}_P^2/(8\pi )$, using the unreduced Planck mass. The photon number density gives the displayed conditional mass. Extra populated states or several massive species change the abundance count; vacuum-dominated cosmology changes the density available for matter.
