暗辐射等曲率线的BBN约束

BBN constraints on dark radiation isocurvature

Peter Adshead, Gilbert Holder, Pranjal Ralegankar

摘要:

在早期宇宙中,与标准模型完全解耦的暗辐射的存在为相关的暗辐射等曲率模式留下了可能性。我们表明,暗辐射等曲率的存在下,导致空间变化的原始丰度的氦和氘由于空间变化的$N_{\rm eff}$在大爆炸核合成。我们使用的结果来限制存在这样的isocurvature模式的规模下降到$\sim 1$兆个人电脑规模。通过测量不同星系中原始氦氢比和氘氢比的超额方差,在95%的置信度下,我们将星系平均等曲率的方差限制在小于$0.13/Δ\bar{N}_{\rm eff}$。这里,$Δ\bar{N}_{\rm eff}$是由于额外的暗辐射分量而导致的$N_{\rm eff}$的空间平均增加。

英文摘要:

The existence of dark radiation that is completely decoupled from the standard model in the early Universe leaves open the possibility of an associated dark radiation isocurvature mode. We show that the presence of dark radiation isocurvature leads to spatial variation in the primordial abundances of helium and deuterium due to spatial variation in $N_{\rm eff}$ during Big Bang nucleosynthesis. We use the result to constrain the existence of such an isocurvature mode on scales down to $\sim 1$ Mpc scales. By measuring the excess variance in the primordial helium to hydrogen and deuterium to hydrogen ratio in different galaxies, we constrain the variance in average isocurvature in a galaxy to be less than $0.13/Δ\bar{N}_{\rm eff}$ at 95\% confidence. Here $Δ\bar{N}_{\rm eff}$ is the spatially averaged increase in $N_{\rm eff}$ due to the additional dark radiation component.
