Abstract: Shear and volume viscosity of the cosmic fluid in the lepton era are calculated with the help of relativistic kinetic theory. The cosmic fluid is taken to be a mixture of neutrinos (νe, νμ, ντ), electrons (e-) and their antiparticles. The differential cross-sections are determined on the basis of the Weinberg-Salam model in the current-current coupling approximation.
