Anisotropic cosmic birefringence estimates for forthcoming CMB experiments

Matteo Longo Minnolo, Matteo Billi, Giuseppe Puglisi

Cosmic Birefringence (CB) is a unique probe of physics beyond the Standard Model, potentially sourced by an axion-like field coupled to photons via a Chern-Simons interaction. Rece…
