CMBPol Mission Concept Study: Probing Inflation with CMB Polarization
Daniel Baumann, Mark G. Jackson, Peter Adshead +56
We summarize the utility of precise cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization measurements as probes of the physics of inflation. We focus on the prospects for using CMB measu…
Cosmic Strings as the Source of Small-Scale Microwave Background Anisotropy
Levon Pogosian, S. -H. Henry Tye, Ira Wasserman +1
Cosmic string networks generate cosmological perturbations actively throughout the history of the universe. Thus, the string sourced anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background i…
B-modes from Cosmic Strings
Levon Pogosian, Mark Wyman
Detecting the parity-odd, or B-mode, polarization pattern in the cosmic microwave background radiation due to primordial gravity waves is considered to be the final observational k…
Magnetogenesis from Cosmic String Loops
Diana Battefeld, Thorsten Battefeld, Daniel H. Wesley +1
Large-scale coherent magnetic fields are observed in galaxies and clusters, but their ultimate origin remains a mystery. We reconsider the prospects for primordial magnetogenesis b…
Cosmic Necklaces from String Theory
Louis Leblond, Mark Wyman
We present the properties of a cosmic superstring network in the scenario of flux compactification. An infinite family of strings, the (p,q)-strings, are allowed to exist. The flux…
On vector mode contribution to CMB temperature and polarization from local strings
Levon Pogosian, Ira Wasserman, Mark Wyman
In a recent publication, we used the data from WMAP and SDSS to constrain the primordial perturbations and to predict the B-mode polarization sourced by cosmic string networks. We…
