28 Effective number of degrees of freedom Damping due to the changes in effective number of degrees of freedom g * As the temperature of the universe decreases, relativistic matter particles become non-relativistic. log( g * ) becomes non-relativistic when T~m log( T [MeV] ) primordial spectrum with tilt temperature decreases contribution to ρ and s decreases step-like changes in H step shape in ΩGW
29 Damping due to the neutrino anisotropic stress Neutrino anisotropic stress anisotropic stress term =0 Before neutrino decoupling (T>2MeV) Anisotropic stress is suppressed by the coupling with matter (e ± )
30 Damping due to the neutrino anisotropic stress Neutrino anisotropic stress initially =0 gives energy Damping only when H~k/a Before neutrino decoupling (T>2MeV) Anisotropic stress is suppressed by the coupling with matter (e ± ) After neutrino decoupling (T<2MeV) Neutrino anisotropic stress affects GWs as a viscosity when they enter the horizon

35 GWs from cosmic strings
36 Cosmological history Log(time) cosmic superstring inflation reheating cosmic phase cosmic string now transitions We are here Theories
37 Phase transition in the Universe potential V Φ2 low energy Φ1 low energy Φ height = energy Φ=0 higher energy vacuum Φ=Φ2 vacuum Φ=Φ1 In 3-dimension space, it looks like a wall
38 Phase transition in the Universe Φ=0 high energy in a string 2- dimensional potential in 3-dimension space becomes a string Φ=σ Cosmic string Z Z 2 d 2 x 2 Line Density: (@ i ) 2 d 2 x r
39 Important notes 1: Phase transition In all acceptable spontaneous symmetry breaking schemes, cosmic string formation is unavoidable 2: Cosmic superstrings Jeannerot et al., PRD (2003) The remarkable fact is that, although many possibilities remain, every one of them predicts the formation of topological or embedded cosmic strings at the end of inflation. So it seems that cosmic strings are almost unavoidable. Kibble, Lecture at COSLAB 2004, arxiv:astro-ph/
40 Cosmic string network infinite string becomes a loop by reconnection loop strings emit gravitational waves especially from singular structures infinite string kink cusp loops lose energy and shrink by emitting GWs and eventually evaporate
41 GWs from cosmic strings cusps on loops kinks on infinite strings GW from cusps are dominant
42 What determines the GW amplitude? 3 main parameters to characterize cosmic string G tension = line density Generation mechanism initial loop size L H -1 Network evolution p reconnection probability Phase transition origin: p=1 Cosmic superstring: p<<1
43 Evolution of cosmic string network The energy density of cosmic strings (line density length)/volume a 1 a 3 a -2 X a: scale factor of the Universe energy density a -4 radiation Cosmic strings a -3 a -2 matter L a 1 V a 3 becomes dominant component of the Universe? a: scale factor
44 Evolution of cosmic string network The energy density of cosmic strings (line density length)/volume a 1 a 3 a -2 X a: scale factor of the Universe energy density a -4 radiation a X -2 Cosmic strings GWs L a 1 V a 3 follows the total energy density of the Universe a: scale factor
45 Evolution of cosmic string network Scaling law The Universe always has O(1-10) strings per horizon String network keeps producing loops Strings can communicate each other inside the horizon horizon reconnection Loops disappear after continuous GW emission
46 Evolution of loops depends on Gμ and α Initial loop length GW power ti time when the loop formed Γ: numerical constant From the energy conservation law energy of loop at time t =μl initial energy of the loop =μαti enegry released to GWs =PΔt Loop length at time t Lifetime of the loop initial loop energy energy release rate per time i i
47 Gravitational waves from cosmic string loops Gravitational waves coming from different directions overlap each other and form gravitational wave background Search for bursts & stochastic background are both important
48 Wide range GW background spectrum Scaling law The Universe always has O(1-10) strings per horizon Early Universe Late Universe horizon GW frequency ~ 1 / (loop size) high frequency GWs low frequency GWs
49 Spectrum of the GWB dependence on Gμ 10-6 new Matter dominant Radiation dominant old large Gμ ΩGW small Gμ Gμ=10-8, 10-10, 10-12, 10-14, α=10-1, p= frequency [Hz] GW power from cusps h 2 (Gμ) 2 life time of loops (Gμ) -1
50 Spectrum of the GWB dependence on α loop size directly corresponds to the frequency of the GW 10-6 small α ΩGW Gμ=10-8, p=1 α=10-1, 10-5, 10-9, 10-13, frequency [Hz]
51 Spectrum of the GWB dependence on p 10-2 small p increases the number density of loops small p ΩGW large p Gμ=10-12, α=10-1 p=1,10-1, 10-2, frequency [Hz]

53 Accessible cosmic string parameter space reconnection probability p=10-2 Line density Gμ Dotted: burst Solid: background Loop size α Kuroyanagi et al. PRD 87, (2013)

55 Summary GWs can become a powerful probe of the very early Universe GWs from inflation are promising (but the amplitude may be small) It may provide information not only on inflation but also on the thermal history after inflation (eg. reheating) GWs from cosmic strings has relatively large amplitude and testable by near-future experiments It will be useful constraint for the model building of the early Universe
