Abstract

In this thesis we have analyzed the effects of neutrinos on the stochastic gravitational wave background of cosmological origin. We have used the Boltzmann equation to study the evolution of the graviton distribution function, determining the anisotropies of such a background. Onve we have found the analytical expressions for the angular power spector, we have examined the effects of neutrinos by changing their effettive number from zero to three.
