For one species with two internal states, the relic-neutrino energy density obtained from the frozen Fermi-Dirac distribution is
ρν​=2∫(2π)3d3p​eap/Tν​+1p2+mν2​​​=π21​∫0∞​eap/Tν​+1p2p2+mν2​​​dp.
(1)
In the relativistic limit, set x=ap/Tν​ and use the standard Riemann zeta function integral
∫0∞​ex+1x3​dx=1207π4​.
(2)
This gives
ρν​=1207π2​(aTν​​)4​.
