16 CIPS AND ACOUSTIC WAVES Run your favorite Boltzmann code (CAMB/CMBFAST) with a CIP Fractional change in anisotropies of less than for angular scales l<10000 Why? Definition Baryon conservation Gravity, pressure, Thomson scattering Gravity DM conservation 6

17 CIPS AND ACOUSTIC WAVES Run your favorite Boltzmann code (CAMB/CMBFAST) with a CIP Fractional change in anisotropies of less than for angular scales l<10000 For CIPs, CMB is only affected on scales where baryonic pressure matters 6

18 CIPS AND ACOUSTIC WAVES Run your favorite Boltzmann code (CAMB/CMBFAST) with a CIP Fractional change in anisotropies of less than for angular scales l<10000 There seems to be no affect on the CMB! No way to observationally disentangle (using CMB) CDM and baryon isocurvature models! 6
