Probing isocurvature perturbations with 21-cm global signal in the light of HERA result
arXiv:2112.15135 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.105.083523
Abstract
We argue that the 21-cm global signal can be a powerful probe of isocurvature perturbations, particularly for the ones with blue-tilted spectra. Although the 21-cm global signal is much affected by astrophysical processes, which give some uncertainties when cosmological models are investigated, recent results from HERA have constrained several astrophysical parameters, whose information can reduce the ambiguities originating from astrophysics. We show that the size and spectral tilt of isocurvature perturbations can be well inferred from the 21-cm global signal once the information on astrophysics from the HERA results is taken into account.
