CMBPol Mission Concept Study: A Mission to Map our Origins
Daniel Baumann, Asantha Cooray, Scott Dodelson +7
Quantum mechanical metric fluctuations during an early inflationary phase of the universe leave a characteristic imprint in the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB…
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…
The Impact of Prior Assumptions on Bayesian Estimates of Inflation Parameters and the Expected Gravitational Waves Signal from Inflation
Wessel Valkenburg, Lawrence M. Krauss, Jan Hamann
There has been much recent discussion, and some confusion, regarding the use of existing observational data to estimate the likelihood that next-generation cosmic microwave backgro…
A Nearly Scale Invariant Spectrum of Gravitational Radiation from Global Phase Transitions
Katherine Jones-Smith, Lawrence M. Krauss, Harsh Mathur
Using a large N sigma model approximation we explicitly calculate the power spectrum of gravitational waves arising from a global phase transition in the early universe and we conf…
The Return of a Static Universe and the End of Cosmology
Lawrence M. Krauss, Robert J. Scherrer
We demonstrate that as we extrapolate the current CDM universe forward in time, all evidence of the Hubble expansion will disappear, so that observers in our "island universe" w…
Cosmic Deconstructionism
Lawrence M. Krauss, Glenn D. Starkman
Dark Matter that is composed of WIMP remnants of incomplete particle-antiparticle annihilation in the early universe experiences ongoing annihilation in gravitationally bound large…
