Cold + Hot Dark Matter Cosmology with $m(\nu_\mu) \approx m(\nu_\tau)   \approx 2.4$ ev
  Cold + Hot Dark Matter (CHDM) $\Omega=1$ cosmological models require a total neutrino mass $\sim 5$ eV. Because recent data support the $\nu_\mu \to \nu_\tau$ oscillation explanation of the cosmic ray $\nu_\mu$ deficit, which requires that $m(\nu_\mu) \approx m(\nu_\tau)$, this suggests that $m(\nu_\mu) \approx m(\nu_\tau) \approx 2.4$ eV. The linear calculations and N-body simulation reported here indicate that an $\Omega=1$ CHDM model with two 2.4 eV neutrinos (designated C$\nu^2$DM) agrees remarkably well with all available observations, but only if the Hubble parameter $h \approx 0.5$. We also show that even one 2.4 eV neutrino raises serious difficulties for low-$\Omega$ flat CDM models.
