Cosmological (Active) NeutrinosNeutrinos are in equilibrium with the primeval plasma through weak interaction reactions. They decouple from the plasma at a temperature

Normal hierarchy Inverted hierarchy
If neutrino masses are hierarchical then oscillation experimentsdo not give information on the absolute value of neutrino masses
Moreover neutrino masses can also be degenerate

Constraints weaken by 30-50%when «dark energy» is included.

Combining a new CMB experiment to Planck coud improve the bounds on the neutrinomass by a factor 3. This would:Falsify Degenerate Hierarchy and Probe the Inverted Hierarchy

• Recent CMB measurements fully confirm L-CDM. • With future measurements constraints on new parameters related to laboratoryPhysics could be achieved.
In 2012 from Planck we will know:
- If the total neutrino mass is less than 0.5eV.- If there is an extra background of relativistic particles.- Helium abundance with 0.01 accuracy.
