Testing for a Super-Acceleration Phase of the Universe
Manoj Kaplinghat, Sarah Bridle
We propose a method to probe the phenomenological nature of dark energy which makes no assumptions about the evolution of its energy density. We exemplify this method with a test f…
Primeval Corrections to the CMB Anisotropies
Nemanja Kaloper, Manoj Kaplinghat
We show that deviations of the quantum state of the inflaton from the thermal vacuum of inflation may leave an imprint in the CMB anisotropies. The quantum dynamics of the inflaton…
Proceedings of the Davis Meeting on Cosmic Inflation
M. Kaplinghat, N. Kaloper, L. Knox
The Davis Meeting on Cosmic Inflation marked an exciting milestone on the road to precision cosmology. This is the index page for the proceedings of the conference. Individual proc…
The Reionization History at High Redshifts II: Estimating the Optical Depth to Thomson Scattering from CMB Polarization
Gilbert Holder, Zoltan Haiman, Manoj Kaplinghat +1
In light of the recent inference of a high optical depth to Thomson scattering, tau, from the WMAP data we investigate the effects of extended periods of partial ionization and ask…
