关于CMB B模非高斯性

On CMB B-Mode Non-Gaussianity

P. Daniel Meerburg, Joel Meyers, Alex van Engelen, Yacine Ali-Haïmoud

摘要:

我们研究了宇宙微波背景辐射(CMB)在多大程度上可以用来约束包含一个张量和两个标量涨落的原初非高斯性,重点研究了一个偏振$B$模式与两个温度模式的相关性。在最简单的暴胀模型中,张量-标量-标量原始双谱是非零的,并且在慢滚参数中与标量-标量-标量双谱具有相同的阶数。我们计算的$\langle BTT\rangle$相关性所产生的原始张量标量双谱,并表明,从实验中的约束,如CMB阶段IV使用这个可观察到的是超过一个数量级优于那些从温度测量单独获得的相同的原始耦合。我们认为,$B$模式的非高斯性打开了一个尚未探索到早期宇宙的窗口,表明原始物理学的重要信息仍然有待于从CMB各向异性收获。

英文摘要:

We study the degree to which the cosmic microwave background (CMB) can be used to constrain primordial non-Gaussianity involving one tensor and two scalar fluctuations, focusing on the correlation of one polarization $B$ mode with two temperature modes. In the simplest models of inflation, the tensor-scalar-scalar primordial bispectrum is non-vanishing and is of the same order in slow-roll parameters as the scalar-scalar-scalar bispectrum. We calculate the $\langle BTT\rangle$ correlation arising from a primordial tensor-scalar-scalar bispectrum, and show that constraints from an experiment like CMB-Stage IV using this observable are more than an order of magnitude better than those on the same primordial coupling obtained from temperature measurements alone. We argue that $B$-mode non-Gaussianity opens up an as-yet-unexplored window into the early Universe, demonstrating that significant information on primordial physics remains to be harvested from CMB anisotropies.
