Supersymmetric Dark Matter
G. Jungman, M. Kamionkowski, K. Griest
There is almost universal agreement among astronomers that most of the mass in the Universe and most of the mass in the Galactic halo is dark. Many lines of reasoning suggest that…
Calculation of the Ostriker-Vishniac Effect in Cold Dark Matter Models
A. H. Jaffe, M. Kamionkowski
We present a new derivation of the cosmic microwave background anisotropy spectrum from the Ostriker-Vishniac effect for an open, flat, or closed Universe, and calculate the anisot…
Solar Fusion Cross Sections
E. Adelberger, S. Austin, J. Bahcall +36
We review and analyze the available information for nuclear fusion cross sections that are most important for solar energy generation and solar neutrino production. We provide best…
Interpreting the Clustering of Radio Sources
C. M. Cress, M. Kamionkowski
We develop the formalism required to interpret, within a CDM framework, the angular clustering of sources in a deep radio survey. The effect of nonlinear evolution of density pertu…
Astrophysical-Neutrino Detection with Angular and Energy Resolution
L. Bergstrom, J. Edsjo, M. Kamionkowski
We investigate the improvement in sensitivity to astrophysical point sources of energetic ( GeV) neutrinos which can be achieved with angular and/or energy resolution of…
Weak Lensing by Large-Scale Structure with the FIRST Radio Survey
A. Refregier, S. T. Brown, M. Kamionkowski +5
The coherent image distortions induced by weak gravitational lensing can be used to measure the power spectrum of density inhomogeneities in the universe. We present our on-going e…
Weakly Nonlinear Clustering for Arbitrary Expansion Histories
M. Kamionkowski, A. Buchalter
Bouchet et al. (1992) showed that in an open or closed Universe with only pressureless matter, gravitational instability from Gaussian initial conditions induces a normalized skewn…
Prospects for Fundamental Physics with LISA
Enrico Barausse, Emanuele Berti, Thomas Hertog +318
In this paper, which is of programmatic rather than quantitative nature, we aim to further delineate and sharpen the future potential of the LISA mission in the area of fundamental…
Neutrino Physics from the Cosmic Microwave Background and Large Scale Structure
K. N. Abazajian, K. Arnold, J. Austermann +74
This is a report on the status and prospects of the quantification of neutrino properties through the cosmological neutrino background for the Cosmic Frontier of the Division of Pa…
Neutralino Annihilation to Gluons
M. Drees, G. Jungman, M. Kamionkowski +1
We present a complete calculation of the cross section for neutralino annihilation into the two-gluon final state. This channel can be quite important for the phenomenology of neut…
The Polatron: A Millimeter-Wave Cosmic Microwave Background Polarimeter for the OVRO 5.5 m Telescope
B. J. Philhour, B. G. Keating, P. A. R. Ade +16
We describe the development of a bolometric receiver designed to measure the arcminute-scale polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). The Polatron will be mounted at…
Spectral Distortions of the CMB as a Probe of Inflation, Recombination, Structure Formation and Particle Physics
J. Chluba, A. Kogut, S. P. Patil +98
Following the pioneering observations with COBE in the early 1990s, studies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) have focused on temperature and polarization anisotropies. CMB…
Aspects of the Cosmic Microwave Background Dipole
M. Kamionkowski, Lloyd Knox
Cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments generally infer a temperature fluctuation from a measured intensity fluctuation through the first term in the Taylor expansion of the…
Improved constraints on the expansion rate of the Universe up to z~1.1 from the spectroscopic evolution of cosmic chronometers
M. Moresco, A. Cimatti, Raul Jimenez +65
We present new improved constraints on the Hubble parameter H(z) in the redshift range 0.15 < z < 1.1, obtained from the differential spectroscopic evolution of early-type galaxies…
Inflation Physics from the Cosmic Microwave Background and Large Scale Structure
K. N. Abazajian, K. Arnold, J. Austermann +91
Fluctuations in the intensity and polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and the large-scale distribution of matter in the universe each contain clues about the natu…
Electromagnetic probes of primordial black holes as dark matter
Y. Ali-Haimoud, S. Clesse, J. Garcia-Bellido +91
The LIGO discoveries have rekindled suggestions that primordial black holes (BHs) may constitute part to all of the dark matter (DM) in the Universe. Such suggestions came from 1)…
Cosmic Microwave Background Observations in the Post-Planck Era
J. B. Peterson, J. E. Carlstrom, E. S. Cheng +5
The Microwave Anisotropy Probe and Planck missions will provide low noise maps of the temperature of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). These maps will allow measurement of the…
