残余引力子的随机背景:一个理论评价

Stochastic backgrounds of relic gravitons: a theoretical appraisal

Massimo Giovannini

摘要:

随机背景或残余引力子,如果被探测到,将构成等离子体演化最早阶段发生的物理过程的初步证据。本文介绍和评述了遗留引力子随机背景的基本内容。在$Λ$ CDM范式的框架下以及在邻近的背景下讨论了通常用于推断遗迹引力子性质的关键观测量。强调了测量宇宙微波背景偏振的实验(例如WMAP、Capmap、Quad、Cbi等)和宽带干涉仪(例如Virgo、Ligo、Geo、Tama)之间的互补性。虽然对微波天空的分析强烈限制了残余引力子谱的低频尾部,但宽带探测器对更高的频率敏感,在这些频率下,谱能量密度主要取决于(鲜为人知的)后暴胀膨胀率。

英文摘要:

Stochastic backgrounds or relic gravitons, if ever detected, will constitute a prima facie evidence of physical processes taking place during the earliest stages of the evolution of the plasma. The essentials of the stochastic backgrounds of relic gravitons are hereby introduced and reviewed. The pivotal observables customarily employed to infer the properties of the relic gravitons are discussed both in the framework of the $Λ$CDM paradigm as well as in neighboring contexts. The complementarity between experiments measuring the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background (such as, for instance, WMAP, Capmap, Quad, Cbi, just to mention a few) and wide band interferometers (e.g. Virgo, Ligo, Geo, Tama) is emphasized. While the analysis of the microwave sky strongly constrains the low-frequency tail of the relic graviton spectrum, wide-band detectors are sensitive to much higher frequencies where the spectral energy density depends chiefly upon the (poorly known) rate of post-inflationary expansion.
