The Isotropic Universe Cosmic Microwave Background Serendipitous discovery of the dominant Radiation content of the universe as an extremely isotropic, Black-body bath at temperature T0=2.725§0.002K . “Clinching support for Hot Big Bang model”
Cosmic Microwave Background The dominant radiation component in the universe ~ 400 CMB photons per cubic cm. (D. Scott ’99)
Cosmic Microwave Background The most perfect Black-Body spectrum in nature COBE –FIRAS The CMB temperature – A single number characterizes the radiation content of the universe!! COBE website
60 Ghz 10 Ghz 30Ghz Cosmic Microwave Background COBE-FIRAS results strongly constrain any Energy input into the CMB in the not-so-early universe 600 Ghz (figs: Bond, 1996) ARCADE 2004
The Perturbed Universe The Isotropic Universe Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropy Cosmic Microwave Background Isotropy Predicted as precursors to the observed large scale structure After 25 years of intense search, tiny variations (~10 p.p.m.) of CMB temperature sky map finally discovered. “Holy grail of structure formation”
Cosmic Microwave Background – a probe beyond the cosmic horizon Pristine relic of a hot, dense & smooth early universe - Hot Big Bang model Pre-recombination : Tightly coupled to, and in thermal equilibrium with, ionized matter. Post-recombination :Freely propagating through (weakly perturbed) homogeneous & isotropic cosmos. CMB anisotropy is related to the tiny primordial fluctuations which formed the Large scale Structure through gravitational instability Simple linear physics allows for accurate predictions Consequently a powerful cosmological probe

Fig. M. White 1997 The Angular power spectrum of the CMB anisotropy depends sensitively on the present matter current of the universe and the spectrum of primordial perturbations The Angular power spectrum of CMB anisotropy is considered a powerful tool for constraining cosmological parameters.

Early universe in CMB Anisotropy The nature of initial/primordial perturbations • Power spectrum ‘Nearly’ Scale invariant /scale free form ( for the Geometry & Topology of the universe) • Spin characteristics Scalar --- Density perturbations Tensor --- Gravity waves Vector --- rotational modes • Type of scalar perturbations Adiabatic --- no entropy fluctuations Isocurvature -- no curvature fluctuations • Underlying statistics Gaussian Non-Gaussian
CMB Polarization Thompson scattering of the CMB anisotropy quadrupole at the surface of last scattering generates a linear polarization pattern in the CMB. • Three additional Power spectra (ClTT +.. ): • two polarization modes (ClEE , ClBB ) • cross correlation with temperature anisotropy ClTE . (Fig:Hu & White , 97) • Initial metric perturbation mix correspondence : • Scalar perturbations predominantly generate the Electric (E) polarization mode. • Vector perturbations predominantly generate the magnetic (B) polarization mode . • Tensor perturbations generate the both modes in comparable amounts . • Temperature anisotropy Cross-correlation only with the E-mode.
