用暴胀引力波探测暗辐射

Probing dark radiation with inflationary gravitational waves

Ryusuke Jinno, Takeo Moroi, Kazunori Nakayama

摘要:

最近的宇宙学观测表明存在额外的轻物质,即,暗辐射在本文中,我们表明暗辐射的签名是印在暴胀引力波的频谱。如果暗辐射是由大质量粒子衰变产生的,则引力波的高频模被抑制。此外,由于暗辐射引起的各向异性应力的影响,引力波谱可能在暗辐射产生时进入视界的频率处出现下降。一旦对引力波谱进行了详细的实验研究,我们就可以推断出宇宙中暗辐射是如何以及何时产生的信息。

英文摘要:

Recent cosmological observations indicate the existence of extra light species, i.e., dark radiation. In this paper we show that signatures of the dark radiation are imprinted in the spectrum of inflationary gravitational waves. If the dark radiation is produced by the decay of a massive particle, high frequency mode of the gravitational waves are suppressed. In addition, due to the effect of the anisotropic stress caused by the dark radiation, a dip in the gravitational wave spectrum may show up at the frequency which enters the horizon at the time of the dark radiation production. Once the gravitational wave spectrum is experimentally studied in detail, we can infer the information on how and when the dark radiation was produced in the Universe.
