基于WMAP三年极化数据对CPT破坏的约束:小波分析

Constraints on CPT violation from WMAP three year polarization data: a wavelet analysis

Paolo Cabella, Paolo Natoli, Joseph Silk

摘要:

我们进行小波分析的温度和偏振图的宇宙微波背景(CMB)的WMAP实验中提供的宇称违反信号的搜索。这样的信号可能是由标准模型之外的新物理学产生的,因为洛伦兹和CPT对称性可能不成立。在这种情况下,CMB光子的线偏振方向可能会在其宇宙学旅程中发生旋转,这种现象也称为宇宙学双折射。最近,Feng等人分析了CMB的WMAP和BOOMERanG 2003角功率谱的一个子集,导出了一个温和地支持非零旋转的约束。通过使用小波变换,我们在一(二)σ水平上对CMB光子旋转角设置了更严格的限制Δα=-2.5 \pm 3.0(Δα= -2.5 \pm 6.0),与零检测一致。

英文摘要:

We perform a wavelet analysis of the temperature and polarization maps of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) delivered by the WMAP experiment in search for a parity violating signal. Such a signal could be seeded by new physics beyond the standard model, for which the Lorentz and CPT symmetries may not hold. Under these circumstances, the linear polarization direction of a CMB photon may get rotated during its cosmological journey, a phenomenon also called cosmological birefringence. Recently, Feng et al. have analyzed a subset the WMAP and BOOMERanG 2003 angular power spectra of the CMB, deriving a constraint that mildly favors a non zero rotation. By using wavelet transforms we set a tighter limit on the CMB photon rotation angle Δα= -2.5 \pm 3.0 (Δα= -2.5 \pm 6.0) at the one (two) σlevel, consistent with a null detection.
