27 Summary The small-scale dynamo in the radiation era Before structure formation the SSD can be effective at amplifying magnetic seed fields. Kinetic energy generated by primordial density perturbations and first-order phase transitions Fully developed turbulence is expected on scales l D l c l e where R e 1, many eddy-interactions and no damping Identified epoch in RD in which conditions are good for SSD Kazantsev model gives large growth rate of seed field: Γ R 1/2 e For seed fields B seed 0 /ng magnetic energy saturates rapidly to: B ε 1/2 ng on scales up to λ c 100 pc These strong extragalactic fields can explain Fermi observations Provide initial magnetic fields for structure formation Other observable signatures?
