2 OPERA neutrino velocity 1/3 First of all CONGRATULATIONS to the team at CERN and LNGS for the excellent experiment Their detection accuracy on the neutrino (E=17GeV) velocity is (v-c)/c = 2.8+/-(0.28 stat.)+/- (0.30 syst.))x 10-5 against similar experiments on ground which had accuracies on deviation from c <10-5 (E>30GeV) and 5.1+/-2.9x10-5 (E peak =3 GeV) At E of the order of 15 MeV the observation of anti neutrinos from the explosion of the SN 1987A (LMC at 170,000 l.y.) from three sites found no anomalies from c with a relative accuracy < 2x10-9 (four order of magnitudes better!)

3 SN 1987A (Hubble Telescope)

4 OPERA neutrino velocity 2/3 Authors write: "the potentially great impact of the result motivates the continuation of our studies in order to investigate possible still unknown systematic effects that could explain the observed anomaly. We deliberately do not attempt any theoretical or phenomenological interpretation of the results Systematic effects have different origin but all are simply diabolic: - known knowns - unknown knowns - known unknowns - unknown unknowns

5 Caution! OPERA neutrino velocity 3/3 But if the result is confirmed the consequences on the particle physics, cosmology and fundamental physics will be simply dramatic. For the time being let s think that particle physics and cosmology are complementary in determining neutrino properties (e.g. the CMB anisotropy spectrum and the power spectrum of the galaxies distribution are both sensible the total mass and number of neutrinos)

9 The explosive expansion of space during inflation would have created ripples in the fabric of space. As explained later, these gravity waves should have left a signature in the polarization of the lastscattered photons (CMB). The amplitude of the gravity wave is proportional to the expansion rate H during inflation, which in turn is proportional to the inflation energy scale squared: GW amplitude H Einf(exp2), where Einf~<1016GeV

42 The Planck ERCSC in brief

43 Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect: basics It is a secondary anisotropy predicted in 1972 due to inverse Compton Scattering between CMB photons (~0.3 mev) and free electrons (~ few KeV) of the hot Intra-Cluster Medium. CMB photons acquire energy! CMB photons blue shifted CMB photons hot ICM Planck Thermal SZ : CMB photons are scattered by random motion of thermal electrons Kinetic SZ : CMB photons are scattered by bulk motion of electrons

44 Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect: properties y-compton parameter provides the frequency dependence SZ effect does not depend on z; Carlstrom, Holder and Reese 2002 y-compton gives the amplitude of the effect (~ 1 mk) SZ vanishes for ~217 GHz (signature of the effect; one of the Planck channels is 217 GHz specifically to identify the zero transition of TSZ); Y is the integrated Compton that is proportional to the temperature-weighted mass of the cluster divided by the angular diameter distance which is the only term depending on z (weakly). This is an useful relation for extracting cosmological information (that are in ) when combined with other observations (X-ray typically).

45 The Early SZ (ESZ) cluster sample from Planck Abell 2319 newly discovered supercluster, PLCK G , Planck (left) and XMM-Newton (right panel) At the end of the mission it will be delivered the Planck SZ cluster catalogue containing many hundreds of clusters at z~1. The previous all-sky catalogue is RASS (Rosat All Sky Survey) but at much lower depth (i.e. z~0.1)

46

47 COMA CLUSTER The Coma cluster is most formidable SZ source of the Planck sky. It is a low redshift (z=0.023) massive (M_500=9.9E14 M_sun) hot clusters (T=8.7 kev, r_500=1.86mpc). For this reason its angular size is so extended that Planck can resolve it spatially (R_500=1.86Mpc=47.8arcmin.) So Far the best profile SZ measured for coma cames for the 7years WMAP data (e.g. Komatsu et al 2011) WMAP S/N of coma = 3.6 Planck S/N=22 4/12/11

76 What is the Parity Transformation? It is the transformation that is applied when we look at the world in a mirror. In math it is the flip of sign of one spatial coordinate. In three dimensions it is equivalent to the flips of all the 3 spatial dimensions (note that the flip of signs of 2 axes in 3 dimensions is equivalent to a rotation). The determinant of a Parity transformation is -1 (whereas a Rotation has determinant =1) If Physics equations are invariant under Parity then we say that Parity is conserved. Specifically Parity is conserved in electromagnetic interactions (as well as in gravity and strong interactions) whereas is broken in weak interactions. CMB physics is purely electromagnetic. Therefore through CMB anisotropies we can study whether the Lagrangian of the photon is Parity conserved as we expect. This analysis might help in constraining Parity-violating terms that can be introduced.

77 Algebraic Properties for Testing Parity in CMB Temperature Map spherical harmonics expansion for T anisotropies Parity Property behavior of T coefficients of spherical harmonics under parity symmetry (i.e. even multipoles are invariant under parity whereas odd multipoles acquire a -1 ) CMB physics does not distinguish between even and odd multipoles. For example at low ell the TT power spectrum is given by the so called Sachs - Wolfe plateau that reads: Therefore it is possible to divide each T map in two subsets corresponding to even and odd multipoles, satisfying two different transformation under P symmetry. Considering the angular power spectrum contained in the two subsets it is possible to study the consistency with P symmetry

78 Algebraic Properties for Testing Parity in CMB Polarization Maps spherical harmonics expansion for Pol anisotropies Parity Property Similar consideration previously expressed for T can be applied to the E mode and (potentially) to the B mode Moreover the opposite behavior of B w.r.t. T or E, forces the cross-correlations <T B> and <E B> to be vanishing in order to be consistent with Parity symmetry!

79 Testing parity (P) symmetry: definition of estimators For X = TT, TE, EE and BB: For X = TB and EB: (Kim & Naselsky, 2010) these estimators have been computed at large angular scale considering an optimal APS estimator. A MC of realizations with realistic noise (both for WMAP 7 and Planck) has been performed (Gruppuso et al., MNRAS, 2010)

80 TT results (WMAP 7) R D

81 Percentage vs angular scale solid line: R estimator dashed line: D estimator % l max this plot suggests the existence of a characteristic scale lying in the range between 15 and 24 for which the estimators might be considered anomalous (<1%)

82 Considerations on this Parity analysis TT anomaly large angular scale with a confidence level of 99.5% in the WMAP 7 data. 1.matter of taste if such percentage is to be considered anomalous 2.It is still unknown whether such a result comes from fundamental physics or if it is due to some not perfectly removed astrophysical foreground or systematic effect Polarization analysis of the WMAP 7 data does not show any deviation from Parity symmetry but: 1.This might be due to the large WMAP 7 noise level that make the signal sinking 2.If ell_max is too large the considered estimators are testing the Parity of the WMAP noise Planck data are awaited with great interest in this respect because: 1.Planck is observing the sky with a totally different scanning strategy wrt WMAP (benefit from the point of view of systematic effects analysis) 2.Confirm TT anomaly and extend the Polarization analysis

83 Planck forecasts (e.g. 143 GHz channel) Standard deviations for D Planck is much more sensitive to polarization estimators Standard deviations for C R on EE

84 COSMIC BIREFRINGENCE We call birefringence angle (BA) the rotation angle of the polarization direction of each photon traveling in the universe. If the Maxwell theory of electromagnetism is valid than the BA is zero. If terms (like Chern-Simons) have to be added to the standard electrodynamics than the BA is different from zero (and Lorentz, CPT symmetries will be violated). Considering CMB photons the APS of CMB anisotropies will be modified as follows: where is the birefringence angle From these equations it is possible to build estimators for alpha. Measuring alpha it is then possible to test the fundamental theory of electromagnetism and constraining the amplitude of the terms that violate CPT symmetries. this analysis is divided in high and low ell

(2011) arxiv: alpha = /- 1.7 [deg] (WMAP 7YR)

89 WMAP EXPERIMENT Large Angular Scale Varying l_min and l_max, the D estimators allow to build the spectrum of the birefringence angle at large angular scale. This provides a scale dependent information on the birefringence angle. For example considering the DTB estimator: Joint Likelihood slices for different Delta ell (WMAP 7YR) [2,16] [17,31] [32,46] Gruppuso et al. (2011) arxiv:

90 Planck and CMBPol forecast Small Angular Scale Xia et al. (2009), IJMPD Planck CMBPol

91 Planck forecast Large Angular Scale Red = WMAP 7 year Blue = Planck forecast For example considering the joint estimator for the ell range [2,23] Planck should outnumber WMAP by a factor above 16 in terms of standard deviations

100 Conclusions Planck is the ESA most unbitious scientific mission in Astrophysics, Cosmology, Particle and Fundamental Physics The first results have already been published or are in process to be published. The First Cosmological release is expected to be delivered by January 2013 and more and more refined results will come out thereafter (polarized maps and spectra etc.) The improvement of the knowledge of the cosmological parameters is expected to be substantial Fundamental Physics is the final goal

101 Acknowledgments It is difficult to thank individually every single person (ESA, Industries, Funding Agencies, scientists, engineers, managers, technical staff in our Institutes and Universities; all over more than 1000 people) who has been deepley involved in Planck in the past 19 years, but we should always remember everyone with deep gratitude.

102 The scientific results that have been presented yesteray are a product of the Planck Collaboration, including individuals from more than 100 scientific institutes in Europe, the USA and Canada Planck is a project of the European Space Agency -- ESA -- with instruments provided by two scientific Consortia funded by ESA member states (in particular the lead countries: France and Italy) with contributions from NASA (USA), and telescope reflectors provided in a collaboration between ESA and a scientific Consortium led and funded by Denmark.
