1207.7285 (Ben A. Stefanek et al.)

An analytic description of the damping of gravitational waves by free streaming neutrinos    [PDF]

Ben A. Stefanek, Wayne W. Repko
We provide an analytic solution to the general wavelength integro-differential equation describing the damping of tensor modes of gravitational waves due to free streaming neutrinos in the early universe. Our result is expressed as a series of spherical Bessel functions whose coefficients are functions of the reduced wave number $Q$.
