Flat Tree-level Inflationary Potentials in Light of CMB and LSS Data
G. Ballesteros, J. A. Casas, J. R. Espinosa +2
We use cosmic microwave background and large scale structure data to test a broad and physically well-motivated class of inflationary models: those with flat tree-level potentials…
Monolithic or hierarchical star formation? A new statistical analysis
Marios Kampakoglou, Roberto Trotta, Joe Silk
We consider an analytic model of cosmic star formation which incorporates supernova feedback, gas accretion and enriched outflows, reproducing the history of cosmic star formation,…
On prospects for dark matter indirect detection in the Constrained MSSM
Leszek Roszkowski, Roberto Ruiz de Austri, Joe Silk +1
In the framework of the Constrained MSSM we derive the most probable ranges of the diffuse gamma radiation flux from the direction of the Galactic center and of the positron flux f…
Bayesian Calibrated Significance Levels Applied to the Spectral Tilt and Hemispherical Asymmetry
Christopher Gordon, Roberto Trotta
Bayesian model selection provides a formal method of determining the level of support for new parameters in a model. However, if there is not a specific enough underlying physical…
Implications for the Constrained MSSM from a new prediction for b to s gamma
Leszek Roszkowski, Roberto Ruiz de Austri, Roberto Trotta
We re-examine the properties of the Constrained MSSM in light of updated constraints, paying particular attention to the impact of the recent substantial shift in the Standard Mode…
Comment on `Tainted evidence: cosmological model selection versus fitting', by Eric V. Linder and Ramon Miquel (astro-ph/0702542v2)
Andrew R Liddle, Pier Stefano Corasaniti, Martin Kunz +3
In astro-ph/0702542v2, Linder and Miquel seek to criticize the use of Bayesian model selection for data analysis and for survey forecasting and design. Their discussion is based on…
