Conservation law for the photon-baryon system [ ] d dη + 3ȧ δρ γb + 3ȧ a a δp γb = (ρ γb + p γb )(kv γb + 3 Φ), [ ] d dη + 4ȧ [(ρ γb + p γb )v γb /k] = δp γb + (ρ + p)ψ, a or with Θ = δρ γ /4ρ γ and R=3ρ b /4ρ γ Θ = k 3 v γb Φ v γb = Ṙ 1 + R v γb + 1 kθ + kψ 1 + R Forced oscillator equation see Zaldarriaga s (now my) talk(s) Anisotropic stresses and entropy generation through non-adiabatic stress Silk damps fluctuations Silk 1968
30 Basics Take a simple photon dominated system, neglecting gravity Continuity Equation: Θ = 1 3 kv γ where Θ = δρ γ /4ρ γ is the temperature fluctuation in the Newtonian gauge expresses number conservation n γ T 3 Euler Equation: v γ = kθ expresses momentum conservation q = F where the force is provided by pressure gradients δp γ = δρ γ /3 = 4Θ/3.
31 Oscillator: Take One Combine these to form the simple harmonic oscillator equation Θ + c 2 sk 2 Θ = 0 where the adiabatic sound speed is defined through c 2 s ṗγ ρ γ here c 2 s = 1/3 since we are photon-dominated Given an initial temperature perturbation and no velocity perturbation, solution is Θ(η) = Θ(0) cos(ks) where the sound horizon is defined as s c s dη
32 A Brief Thermal History Redshift-ionization Photon-baryon fluid with pressure
33 Harmonic Extrema
34 Harmonic Extrema All modes are frozen in at recombination (denoted with a subscript ) yielding temperature perturbations of different amplitude for different modes Θ(η ) = Θ(0) cos(ks ) Modes caught in the extrema of their oscillation will have enhanced fluctuations k n s = nπ yielding a fundamental scale or frequency, related to the inverse sound horizon k A = π/s and a harmonic relationship to the other extrema as 1 : 2 : 3...

39 Peak Location The fundmental physical scale is translated into a fundamental angular scale by simple projection according to the angular diameter distance D θ A = λ A /D l A = k A D In a flat universe, the distance is simply D = d η 0 η η 0, the horizon distance, and k A = π/s = 3π/η so θ A η η 0 In a matter-dominated universe η a 1/2 so θ A 1/30 2 or l A 200

44 1:2:3 Testing Inflation
45 Restoring Gravity Take a simple photon dominated system with gravity Continuity Equation: Θ = 1 3 kv γ Φ includes a redshift effect from the distortion of the spatial metric Recall that in the absence of stress fluctuations Φ =constant and Φ = 0. Euler Equation: v γ = k(θ + Ψ) includes graviational infall generating momentum.
46 Oscillator: Take Two Combine these to form the simple harmonic oscillator equation Θ + c 2 sk 2 Θ = k2 3 Ψ Φ In a CDM dominated expansion Φ = Ψ = 0. Also for photon domination c 2 s = 1/3 so the oscillator equation becomes Θ + Ψ + c 2 sk 2 (Θ + Ψ) = 0 Solution is just an offset version of the original [Θ + Ψ](η) = [Θ + Ψ](0) cos(ks) Θ + Ψ is also the observed temperature fluctuation since photons lose energy climbing out of gravitational potentials at recombination
47 Gravitational Ringing Potential wells = inflationary seeds of structure Fluid falls into wells, pressure resists: acoustic oscillations
48 Sachs-Wolfe Effect and the Magic 1/3 From comoving gauge, where the CMB temperature perturbation is initially negligible, to Newtonian gauge involves a temporal shift δt t = Ψ Temporal shift implies that during matter domination δa a = 2 δt 3 t CMB temperature is cooling as T a so Θ δt T = δa a = 2 3 Ψ Observed or effective temperature Θ + Ψ = 1 3 Ψ
49 Inflation and the Initial Conditions Inflation: (nearly) scale-invariant curvature (potential) perturbations Superluminal expansion superhorizon scales "initial conditions" Accompanying temperture perturbations due to cosmological redshift cold Time Newtonian Comoving hot Space Potential perturbation Ψ = time-time metric perturbation δt/t = Ψ δt/t = δa/a = 2/3δt/t = 2/3Ψ Sachs & Wolfe (1967); White & Hu (1997)
50 Causality and the CMB The harmonic series of peaks of comparable amplitude, now observed, depend on the existence of an initial spatial curvature fluctuation that is nearly scale-invariant. The Bardeen curvature ζ, from Lecture 2 is constant above the horizon ζ = 0 so that if ζ(0) = 0, ζ(η) = 0.
51 Causality and the CMB The harmonic series of peaks of comparable amplitude, now observed, depend on the existence of an initial spatial curvature fluctuation that is nearly scale-invariant. The Bardeen curvature ζ, from Lecture 2 is constant above the horizon ζ = 0 so that if ζ(0) = 0, ζ(η) = 0. A more severe form of the horizon problem: the mechanism which ensures the homogeneity of the universe must also imprint fluctuation to the spatial curvature that are scale invariant and correlated above the apparent horizon.

A more severe form of the horizon problem: the mechanism which ensures the homogeneity of the universe must also imprint fluctuation to the spatial curvature that are scale invariant and correlated above the apparent horizon. Inflation to the rescue... Given the observations, restrictions on the would-be alternates to inflation are severe, e.g. cosmological defects cannot be the main source of structure
53 Inflationary Dynamics Any quantum field during inflation acquires quantum fluctuations Inflaton is only special in that it carries the energy density Gravitational waves also acquire quantum fluctuations Power in quantum fluctuations H 2 V E 4 Power in gravity waves measures energy scale of inflation Current upper limits: E < 2 x GeV Joint constraint with scalar slope distinguishes classes of inflationary models Tensor/Scalar power vs tensor slope tests the idea of slow-roll inflation itself Meaningful test by Planck only possible if tensors close to current upper limit

57 Oscillator: Take Three Combine these to form the not-quite-so simple harmonic oscillator equation c 2 s d dη (c 2 s Θ) + c 2 sk 2 Θ = k2 3 Ψ c2 s d dη (c 2 s Φ) where c 2 s ṗ γb / ρ γb c 2 s = R In a CDM dominated expansion Φ = Ψ = 0 and the adiabatic approximation Ṙ/R ω = kc s [Θ + (1 + R)Ψ](η) = [Θ + (1 + R)Ψ](0) cos(ks)

69 Relativistic Term in Continuity Continuity equation contains relativistic term from changes in the spatial curvature perturbation to the scale factor For w=0 (matter), simply density dilution; for w=1/3 (radiation) density dilution plus (cosmological) redshift a.k.a. ISW effect photon redshift from change in grav. potential

Decay is timed precisely to drive the oscillator 5 the amplitude of the Sachs-Wolfe effect!

78 Damping Tail
79 Damping Tight coupling equations assume a perfect fluid: no viscosity, no heat conduction Fluid imperfections are related to the mean free path of the photons in the baryons λ C = τ 1 where τ = n e σ T a is the conformal opacity to Thompson scattering Dissipation is related to the diffusion length: random walk approximation λ D = Nλ C = η/λ C λ C = ηλ C the geometric mean between the horizon and mean free path λ D /η few %, soexpectthe peaks >3to be affected by dissipation
80 Dissipation / Diffusion Damping Imperfections in the coupled fluid mean free path λ C in the baryons Random walk over diffusion scale: geometric mean of mfp & horizon λ D ~ λ C N ~ λ C η >> λ C Overtake wavelength: λ D ~ λ ; second order in λ C /λ Viscous damping for R<1; heat conduction damping for R>1 N=η / λ C 1.0 λ D ~ λ C N λ Power 0.1 perfect fluid instant decoupling Silk (1968); Hu & Sugiyama (1995); Hu & White (1996) l
81 Equations of Motion Continuity Θ = k 3 v γ Φ, δb = kv b 3 Φ where the photon equation remains unchanged and the baryons follow number conservation with ρ b = m b n b Euler v γ = k(θ + Ψ) k 6 π γ τ(v γ v b ) v b = ȧ a v b + kψ + τ(v γ v b )/R where the photons gain an anisotropic stress term π γ from radiation viscosity and a momentum exchange term with the baryons and are compensated by the opposite term in the baryon Euler equation
82 Oscillator: Final Take Both viscosity and heat conduction through v γ v b are generated by gradients in the velocity field and add terms proportional to Θ to the oscillator equation c 2 s d dη (c 2 s Θ) + k2 c 2 s τ [A v + A h ] Θ + c 2 sk 2 Θ = k2 3 Ψ d c2 s dη (c 2 s where a leading order expansion in k/ τ in kinetic theory gives A v = 16 15, A h = R2 1 + R solution leads to a damping factor to the amplitude of order Φ) or k D exp( k 2 η/ τ) τ/η as expected from the random walk description
