Future CMB observations: Can we break Λ CDM? Christian Reichardt University of Melbourne
Outline • Cosmic microwave background (CMB): – What are the neutrino masses? – What caused inflation? • Future CMB experiments – Ground – Satellites
Λ CDM: 6 parameters fit all observations Percival et al 2010 Larson et al 2011 Amanullah et al 2010 Cosmic Microwave Background + Large Scale Structure + Supernovae We live in a flat universe whose expansion is accelerating!
But this can’t last… 1. What are the neutrino masses? 2. What caused inflation? among others — is the Dark sector fully explained by 2 parameters? Ω Λ + Ω c = 0.9539 ± 0.0015
Cosmic Timeline Large-Scale Structure, accelerated expansion Galaxies, many more stars Reionization, BBN, first stars Recombination, CMB Inflation? z=0 z~1000 z~10 z~4 Time z~1 300 kyr 0.5 Gyr 1.6 Gyr 6.0 Gyr 13.8 Gyr
CMB polarization can address these questions z=0 Gravitational lensing and the Sunyaev- CMB power spectrum: Zel’dovich (SZ) e ff ect: • What caused inflation? • What are the neutrino masses? • How many relativistic degrees etc. of freedom (ie neutrino species) are present? etc.
The CMB is polarized 10 o • Any polarization pattern can be decomposed into “E” (grad) and “B” (curl) modes Smith et al 2008 • Density fluctuations at LSS do not produce “B” modes!
The CMB is polarized 10 o • Any polarization pattern can be decomposed into “E” (grad) and “B” (curl) modes B-modes have a very low background! Smith et al 2008 • Density fluctuations at LSS do not produce “B” modes!
B-modes come from: Inflationary gravitational waves Gravitational lensing 9
Why look at Polarization? E ff ect of Lensing Small Changes Gravity Big wave Changes!!! signal

Tensor-to-scalar ratio (r) Scalar perturbations • Perturbations in the energy density. • The only perturbations which form structure due to gravitational instability (therefore only ones required in a minimal model) Tensor perturbations • Gravity waves - transverse-traceless metric perturbations • Generally predicted by inflation models; amplitude related to energy scale at which inflation occurs. r is the ratio of tensor to scalar power at a certain angular scale
