摘要:

现代宇宙学尖锐的问题提出了几千年来关于我们的宇宙栖息地的起源。这些古老的问题已经转变为两个紧迫的问题,准备在未来十年内展开攻击:宇宙是如何开始的?在最高能量下,什么物理定律支配着宇宙?这些问题最清晰的窗口是宇宙微波背景(CMB)中的偏振模式,它对原始重力波非常敏感。探测到由重力波产生的特殊图案不仅是一个前所未有的发现,而且是对我们宇宙最早可观测时刻物理学的直接探索。在未来十年中绘制CMB极化的实验将引导我们朝着回答这些古老问题迈出第一步。

英文摘要:

Modern cosmology has sharpened questions posed for millennia about the origin of our cosmic habitat. The age-old questions have been transformed into two pressing issues primed for attack in the coming decade: How did the Universe begin? and What physical laws govern the Universe at the highest energies? The clearest window onto these questions is the pattern of polarization in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), which is uniquely sensitive to primordial gravity waves. A detection of the special pattern produced by gravity waves would be not only an unprecedented discovery, but also a direct probe of physics at the earliest observable instants of our Universe. Experiments which map CMB polarization over the coming decade will lead us on our first steps towards answering these age-old questions.
