The three neutrinos are ghostly elementary particles that exist all
across the Universe. Though every second billions of them fly
through us, they are extremely hard to detect. We used to think
they had no mass, but recently discovered that in fact they have a
tiny mass. The quest for the neutrino mass scale and mass ordering
(specifying how the three masses are distributed) is an extremely
exciting one, and will open the door towards new physics operating
at energy scales we can only ever dream of reaching on Earth. This
thesis explores the use of measurements of the Cosmic Microwave
Background (the oldest light reaching us, a snapshot of the infant
Universe) and maps of millions of galaxies to go after the neutrino
mass scale and mass ordering. Neutrinos might teach us something
about the mysterious dark energy powering the accelerated expansion
of the Universe, or about cosmic inflation, which seeded the
initial conditions for the Universe. Though extremely baffling,
neutrinos are also an exceptionally exciting area of research, and
cosmological observations promise to reveal a great deal about
these elusive particles in the coming years.
