摘要:

在复合过程中产生的中性氢的宇宙微波背景(CMB)光子的瑞利散射有效地产生了一个额外的散射表面,复合后编码新的宇宙学信息,包括宇宙的膨胀和电离历史。首次探测到瑞利散射是下一代CMB实验的一个诱人目标。我们已经开发了一个瑞利散射预测管道,包括仪器效应、大气噪声和天体物理前景(例如,银河尘埃,宇宙红外背景,或CIB,和热Sunyaev-Zel'dovich效应)。我们预测了瑞利散射探测对即将到来的几个地基实验的意义,包括SPT-3G+,西蒙斯天文台,CCAT-prime和CMB-S4,并研究了大气和天体物理前景的限制以及潜在的缓解策略。当结合普朗克数据,我们估计,地面实验将检测到瑞利散射的显着性之间的1.6和3.7,主要是由大气噪声和CIB的限制。

英文摘要:

The Rayleigh scattering of cosmic microwave background (CMB) photons off the neutral hydrogen produced during recombination effectively creates an additional scattering surface after recombination that encodes new cosmological information, including the expansion and ionization history of the universe. A first detection of Rayleigh scattering is a tantalizing target for next-generation CMB experiments. We have developed a Rayleigh scattering forecasting pipeline that includes instrumental effects, atmospheric noise, and astrophysical foregrounds (e.g., Galactic dust, cosmic infrared background, or CIB, and the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect). We forecast the Rayleigh scattering detection significance for several upcoming ground-based experiments, including SPT-3G+, Simons Observatory, CCAT-prime, and CMB-S4, and examine the limitations from atmospheric and astrophysical foregrounds as well as potential mitigation strategies. When combined with Planck data, we estimate that the ground-based experiments will detect Rayleigh scattering with a significance between 1.6 and 3.7, primarily limited by atmospheric noise and the CIB.
