Fluctuations in the cosmic neutrino background are known to produce a phase shift in the acoustic peaks of the cosmic microwave background. It is through the sensitivity to this effect that the…
CMB delensing beyond the B modes
- D. Green, Joel Meyers, A. V. Engelen
- Physics
- 26 September 2016
Gravitational lensing by large-scale structure significantly impacts observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB): it smooths the acoustic peaks in temperature and E-mode polarization power…
CMB B -mode non-Gaussianity
- P. Meerburg, Joel Meyers, A. V. Engelen, Y. Ali-Haimoud
- Physics
- 7 March 2016
We study the degree to which the cosmic microwave background (CMB) can be used to constrain primordial non-Gaussianity involving one tensor and two scalar fluctuations, focusing on the correlation of…
