Probing cosmic inflation with the LiteBIRD cosmic microwave background polarization survey

Journal Article Allys, E. ; Arnold, K. ; Aumont, J. ; ... - Progress of Theoretical and Experimental Physics

LiteBIRD, the Lite (Light) satellite for the study of B-mode polarization and Inflation from cosmic background Radiation Detection, is a space mission for primordial cosmology and fundamental physics. The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) selected LiteBIRD in May 2019 as a strategic large-class (L-class) mission, with an expected launch in the late 2020s using JAXA’s H3 rocket. LiteBIRD is planned to orbit the Sun–Earth Lagrangian point L2, where it will map the cosmic microwave background polarization over the entire sky for three years, with three telescopes in 15 frequency bands between 34 and 448 GHz, to achieve an unprecedented total sensitivity ofmore »« less

Testing inflation with the cosmic microwave background

Journal Article Dodelson, S ; Knox, L ; Kolb, E W - Physical Review Letters; (United States)

Cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy may result from both scalar and tensor perturbations. For a sufficiently narrow range of angular scales, CMB perturbations can be characterized by four parameters. Results from the Cosmic Background Explorer fix one combination of the parameters, reducing the parameters to three. If CMB perturbations are from inflation, there is an additional relation, reducing the parameters to two. An appropriate combination of a medium-angle and a small-angle CMB observation can test the inflation hypothesis because inflation cannot explain a high signal in one experiment and a low signal in the other.

Constraining inflation with cosmic microwave background polarization

Journal Article Kinney, W H - Physical Review, D

Observations of the polarization of the cosmic microwave backround (CMB) have the potential to place much tighter constraints on cosmological parameters than observations of the fluctuations in temperature alone. We discuss using CMB polarization to constrain parameters relevant for distinguishing among popular models for cosmological inflation, using the MAP and Planck satellite missions as example cases. Of particular interest is the ability to detect tiny contributions to the CMB anisotropy from tensor modes, which is fundamentally limited by cosmic variance in temperature-only observations. The ability to detect a tensor/scalar ratio r{approximately}0.01 would allow precision tests of interesting inflation models, andmore »« less

Cosmic microwave background measurements can discriminate among inflation models

Journal Article Dodelson, S ; Kinney, W H ; Kolb, E W ; ... - Physical Review, D

Quantum fluctuations during inflation may be responsible for temperature anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Observations of CMB anisotropies can be used to falsify many currently popular models. In this paper we discuss the prospectus for observations of CMB anisotropies at the accuracy of planned satellite missions to reject currently popular inflation models and to provide some direction for model building. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}

New constraints on inflation from the cosmic microwave background

Journal Article Kinney, William H ; Melchiorri, Alessandro ; Riotto, Antonio - Physical Review D

The recent data from the BOOMERANG and MAXIMA-1 balloon flights have marked the beginning of the precision era of cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy measurements. We investigate the observational constraints from the current CMB anisotropy measurements on the simplest inflation models, characterized by a single scalar field {phi}, in the parameter space consisting of scalar spectral index n{sub S} and tensor/scalar ratio r. If we include constraints on the baryon density from big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN), we show that the favored inflationary models have a negligible tensor amplitude and a red tilt, with a best fit of n{sub S}{approx_equal}0.93, whichmore »« less
