Scale-Invariance and the Strong Coupling Problem

Daniel Baumann, Leonardo Senatore, Matias Zaldarriaga

The effective theory of adiabatic fluctuations around arbitrary Friedmann-Robertson-Walker backgrounds - both expanding and contracting - allows for more than one way to obtain sca…

A Naturally Large Four-Point Function in Single Field Inflation

Leonardo Senatore, Matias Zaldarriaga

Non-Gaussianities of the primordial density perturbations have emerged as a very powerful possible signal to test the dynamics that drove the period of inflation. While in general…

CMBPol Mission Concept Study: Foreground Science Knowledge and Prospects

A. A. Fraisse, J. -A. C. Brown, G. Dobler +10

We report on our knowledge of Galactic foregrounds, as well as on how a CMB satellite mission aiming at detecting a primordial B-mode signal (CMBPol) will contribute to improving i…

CMBPol Mission Concept Study: Gravitational Lensing

Kendrick M. Smith, Asantha Cooray, Sudeep Das +10

Gravitational lensing of the cosmic microwave background by large-scale structure in the late universe is both a source of cosmological information and a potential contaminant of p…

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…
