Exploring cosmic origins with CORE: gravitational lensing of the CMB
Anthony Challinor, Rupert Allison, Julien Carron +110
Lensing of the CMB is now a well-developed probe of large-scale clustering over a broad range of redshifts. By exploiting the non-Gaussian imprints of lensing in the polarization o…
Higgs Mass and Gravity Waves in Standard Model False Vacuum Inflation
Alessio Notari
In previous publications we have proposed that Inflation can be realized in a second minimum of the Standard Model Higgs potential at energy scales of about GeV, if the m…
Biased Domain Wall Networks and their Gravitational Waves
Davide Barbini, Alessio Notari, Oriol Pujolàs +2
Cosmic Domain Wall networks are among the most interesting sources of a stochastic Gravitational Wave (GW) background from the early Universe. We present a thorough analysis of the…
Standard Model False Vacuum Inflation: Correlating the Tensor-to-Scalar Ratio to the Top Quark and Higgs Boson masses
Isabella Masina, Alessio Notari
For a narrow band of values of the top quark and Higgs boson masses, the Standard Model Higgs potential develops a false minimum at energies of about GeV, where primordia…
Cosmological influence of super-Hubble perturbations
Edward W. Kolb, Sabino Matarrese, Alessio Notari +1
The existence of cosmological perturbations of wavelength larger than the Hubble radius is a generic prediction of the inflationary paradigm. We provide the derivation beyond pertu…
On the significance of power asymmetries in Planck CMB data at all scales
Miguel Quartin, Alessio Notari
We perform an analysis of the CMB temperature data taken by the Planck satellite investigating if there is any significant deviation from cosmological isotropy. We look for differe…
