宇宙“婴儿期”的哭声 --原初引力波的发现及其意义 王 斌 上海交通大学
Breaking News: 2014.3.17 Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics: Clem Pryke Jamie Bock Chao-Lin Kuo John Kovac BICEP2: Background Imaging of Cosmic Extragalactic Polarization
The Dark Sector Lab, located ¾ of a mile from the Geographic South Pole, BICEP2 telescope (left) and the South Pole Telescope (right).
Basic concepts of Polarization: Elliptical polarization for the electromagnetic wave The transverse electromagnetic wave E(z,t) 椭圆角 半长轴与x-轴之间的夹角
intensity (I) degree of polarization (p), Stokes vector: 庞加莱球 The Stokes parameters I, Q, U and V:provide an alternative description of the polarization state, which is experimentally convenient Linearly polarized (horizontal) Linearly polarized (+45°) Right-hand circularly polarized Linearly polarized (vertical) Linearly polarized (−45°) Left-hand circularly polarized Representations in fixed (x,y) basis Unpolarized
Polarization by Scattering: Polarization by reflection off of a surface partially polarized incident unpolarized light outgoing light "shakes" the electrons This is why polarized sunglasses reduce the glare from reflection in the plane polarized Thomson scattering provides a similar means of polarizing CMB light. Since light cannot be polarized along its direction of motion, only one linear polarization state gets scattered. Thomson Scattering Linear polarization only one linear polarization state gets scattered the intensity of the radiation varies at 90 degrees left and top are of equal intensity, no polarization in the outgoing direction quadrupole pattern
density fluctuations The orange line: magnitude and orientation of linear polarization. fixed line of longitude E mode gravitational wave polarization pattern is highly symmetrical B mode we have chosen a specific longitude and rotated in latitude polarization by gravitational waves
Polarization Diagram: Density wave: propagating in the direction of the arrow, an electron will always see hotter and colder photons in a direction parallel or perpendicular to the plane of this single wave. E-mode Gravitational wave: it propagates in the same direction as the density wave, it stretches and squeezes space in a direction perpendicular from it. Depending on the orientation of this stretch/squeeze motion, the gravitational wave is capable of producing either E- or B-mode polarization patterns.
GWs from inflation generate a twisting pattern in the polarization of the CMB, known as a "curl" or B-mode pattern. For the density fluctuations that generate most of the polarization of the CMB, this part of the primordial pattern is exactly zero. Shown here is the actual B-mode pattern observed by BICEP2, with the line segments showing the polarization from different spots on the sky. The red and blue shading shows the degree of clockwise and anti-clockwise twisting of this B-mode pattern
B mode power: • Gravitational waves show a power spectrum with both E and B mode contributions • Limits on the gravitational wave contribution to the temperature anisotropy imply B-modes < a few tenths of a microKelvin. • Gravitational waves probe the physics of inflation but will require a thorough understanding of foregrounds and secondary effects for their detection. B-mode corresponds to a tenth of a micro Kelvin signal on scales of l~100

广义相对论的经典实验检验 1)水星轨道近日点的进动 2)光线在太阳附近的偏折 3)光线的引力红移 Arthur Stanley Eddington (1882-1944) Solar eclipse of 29 may 1919
4)引力波 脉冲双星,PSR 1913+16 引力辐射导致的系统动能损失表现为双星轨道的衰减,进一步表现为轨道运动周期的逐渐降低,这一理论预言和实验观测结果符合得相当好。 第一次间接证明有引力波存在。 1993诺贝尔奖
BICEP2:引力波的又一间接证据 支持广义相对论!! 量子引力??
引力波的直接证据? Do black holes have a characteristic “sound”? • Yes. During a certain time interval the evolution of initial perturbation is dominated by damped single-frequency oscillation. Relate to black hole parameters, not on initial perturbation.
Can the gravitational wave be detected during the merge of black holes? Needs accurate waveforms produced by GR community!! Gravitational Radiation • Black hole binaries produce gravitational waves in all phases of their evolution • Test of GR in all three phases
Three startling predictions of Einstein’s relativity: The expansion of the Universe (from a big bang) Black holes Dark energy acting against the pull of gravity Einstein’s Predictions Observations confirm these predictions . . . . . . the last only twelve years ago Hubble discovered the expanding Universe in 1929 Black holes found in our Galaxy and at the center of quasars over the past three decades Evidence for an accelerating Universe was observed in 1998
Completing Einstein’s Legacy Einstein’s legacy is incomplete, his theory fails to explain the underlying physics of the very phenomena his work predicted • BIG BANG • What powered the Big Bang? • BLACK HOLES • What happens at the edge of a Black Hole? • DARK ENERGY • What is the mysterious Dark Energy pulling the Universe apart?
What Powered the Big Bang? What Powered the Big Bang? Gravitational Waves Can Escape from Earliest Moments of the Big Bang Inflation (Big Bang plus 10-34 Seconds) Big Bang plus 300,000 Years light Now gravitational waves Big Bang plus 15 Billion Years

The inflation model (1981, A. Guth) V(φ) φ It solves those problems in the big bang model, and in particular, provides a mechanism to give rise to the primordial fluctuations, which are seeds of large scale Structures we observe today.
