10 Lensing distributes anisotropies from degree scales to damping tail and smooths acoustic peaks In temperature hard to see because of other secondaries In polarization lensing mixes E & B modes. Polarization secondaries are smaller.

11 Non-Gaussianity of lensing Bad: decreases information content of lensing B-modes from the case of a simple Gaussian mode counting. (Beware of Gaussian Fisher predictions of B-modes) Good: allows a statistical mechanism to reconstruct foreground mass distribution responsible for lensing

12 Non-Gaussianity of lensing Lensing weakly correlates CMB modes with l = l : T (l)t (l ) φ(l l ). Reconstructed field φ is quadratic in CMB temperature: φ(n) = a α(n) a β(n) d 2 l α(n) = (2π) 2 β(n) = d 2 l (2π) 2 C TT C TT 1 + N TT C TT + N TT T (l)e il bn T (l)e il bn Second idea for detecting CMB lensing: look for extra power in φ. Compute C φφ : quadratic in φ, or four-point in CMB. (> 50 publications)

13 Hint of lensing in WMAP? Start (1) Gaussian fields {g m, φ m, a unlensed (2) Lensed CMB a lensed (3) m (4) m } 3.4 detection, as a cross-correlation WMAP data (5) NVSS data (7) Filtered CMB a m (6) Filtered galaxy field g Reconstructed m potential φ m (8) Lensing estimator C φg 2 C φg = (33.2 ± 10.5) 10 7 (20 40, stat.) Smith et al. 07 no detection limits on lensing-isw and lensing-sz Calabrese et al. 09

14 Next steps A detection of the lensing potential power spectrum with WMAP-7? Requires a computation of the 4 point function, work started, results out soon!!! (Joseph Smidt et al. in preparation) Existing estimators (Hu & Okamoto; Seljak & Hirata) are biased, need to properly account for the Gaussian part of the trispectrum and remove noise bias. Fast, optimized estimators for non-gaussianity now developed in a series of papers by Munshi, Smidt et al. (we measured the primordial trispectrum for the first time ever in ) Still requires a large number of Monte-Carlo simulations. Limited by computational resources. Out to ell of 900, ~25,000 CPU hours. Naive estimator scales as l 4. Fast estimators scales as l 3 logl.

15 CMB lensing CMB lensing vs. galaxy lensing Advantages: 1. A precisely known source 2. Linear fluctuations, there is really no need to model nonlinearities down to sub-percent precision. 3. Community experience in analyses of complex CMB datasets Disadvantages: Finite information content!

16 Experimental Probe of Inflationary Cosmology EPIC Selected by NASA in 2003 for a 2 to 3-year study, again in In , EPIC was put forward as a general CMB community-supported mission concept for the CMBpol post-planck mission. In Europe, B-POL study (but not selected; Euclid selected for dark energy as a Cosmic Visions M class mission). Jamie Bock (JPL), PI Bock et al

22 Particle physics application of EPIC CMB lensing probes linear fluctuations Source properties known (Both these lead to systematic errors in galaxy lensing) Lensing B-modes and CMB Cosmic Shear Reconstruction A deliverable: neutrino mass (Σm ν < 0.05 ev or better at 95% confidence level) Test SuperK Atmosphere oscillations that suggest Δm ν 2 2x10-3 ev 2 and distinguish between two mass hierarchies EPIC study reports

23 Neutrino mass hierarchy from cosmology For the LCDM cosmological model, EPIC, as currently configured, reaches a sum of the neutrino masses of ev and if the equation of state of dark energy is allowed to vary this constraint is at 0.047eV at the same 95% confidence level. This is not a simple Gaussian Fisher matrix estimate. It accounts for the full covariance, part of which was based on simulations.

29 Neutrino mass hierarchy from cosmology Can we do better? Further optimize EPIC (at a very high cost), factor of 1.2 to 1.3 at most improvement with CMB polarization alone Better, Combine EPIC with Euclid/JDEM-WL for a factor of ~2 to 3 improvement through z-binned lensing + a good model for non-linearities for galaxy lensing. lensing of 21-cm: highly futuristic

30 Summary Planck should do BB lensing, and get down to ~0.2 ev level Post-Planck EPIC satellite for CMB polarization is well developed. US-based CMB community has requested NASA to start a project office after the 2010 Astronomy Decadal Survey, based on recommendations on CMB sciences. If started, EPIC phase-a to begin around 2015, launch around Will Planck provide a hint of tensors and/or primordial non- Gaussianity? motivation for EPIC will be clearer then.
