Abstract: We investigate the matter power spectra in the power law and exponential types of viable f(R) theories along with massive neutrinos. The enhancement of the matter power spectrum is found to be a generic feature in these models. In particular, we show that in the former type, such as the Starobinsky model, the spectrum is magnified much larger than the latter one, such as the exponential model. A greater scale of the total neutrino mass, Sigmamu, is allowed in the viable f(R) models than that in the LambdaCDM one. We obtain the constraints on the neutrino masses by using the CosmoMC package with the modified MGCAMB. Explicitly, we get Sigmamu<0.451(0.214)mathrmeV at 95% C.L. in the Starobinsky (exponential) model, while the corresponding one for the LambdaCDM model is Sigmamu<0.200mathrmeV. Furthermore, by treating the effective number of neutrino species Nmathrmeff as a free parameter along with Sigmamu, we find that Nmathrmeff=3.780.84+0.64(3.470.60+0.74) and Sigmamu=0.5330.411+0.254 (<0.386)mathrmeV at 95% C.L. in the Starobinsky (exponential) model.
