  3. Cosmic Acceleration We observe cosmic acceleration, ä>0(most directly from supernovae). Amanullah et al 2010 Freedman et al 2009 with sys accelerating accelerating decelerating decelerating

  4. Kindergarten Cosmology This implies a modification of the Friedmann equations. H2 = These are just energy conservation and Newtons 2nd law: So there is either a new source of energy, or a modification of gravity.

  5. Dark Energy and Expansion Either way, call it dark energy. For any modification of matter-only Friedmann equation, can always define equation of state. Acceleration is exactly equivalent to wtotal<-1/3. The EOS wde(z) characterizes the effect of the modification on the expansion. For example, wde(z)=-1 is the cosmological constant – but many diverse physics give wde(z)~-1.

  6. Handles on Dark Energy • We need more observational handles on dark energy. Consider inflation – in the 1980s people believed it was untestable. Now we explore: • Tilt and running • Tensor modes (GW) • Non-Gaussianity • Topological defects/relics • Tilt and running are like w and w – the other quantities arise from perturbations, basically spatial variation in addition to time variation.

  7. Microphysics of Dark Energy Spatial variation of dark energy is the next frontier, and the CMB is the prime probe for it. Remember “many diverse physics give wde(z)~-1.” For example, exponential f(R) gravity, barotopic fluids, DBI action all naturally give wobs~-1 despite totally different origins. To learn the physics, we must delve into the microphysics. We are basically asking whether there are more degrees of freedom than in quintessence.

  9. CMB as a Probe CMB probes perturbations – that’s what the anisotropy power spectrum is, the spatial distribution of photons. The photons undergo oscillations due to (EM) coupling to matter, forced/damped by gravity, and redshifted by gravity. W. Hu Dark energy perturbations contribute to the gravitational potential and affect the CMB.

  10. CMB as a Probe Dark energy microphysics enters in the Sachs-Wolfe effect on acoustic peak heights of T, E, TE spectra, in addition to the ISW and peak locations due to DE effects on expansion. Sachs-Wolfe (recombination) ISW (late time)

  11. CMB Lensing Gravitational potentials (spatial variation) between recombination and the present also affect CMB through gravitational lensing. This shifts and recorrelates the CMB (Linder 1988; older than galaxy weak lensing (Linder 1990)!). Main effects are smearing out peaks and generating B-mode polarization (from E-mode). [160μK  8μK  0.3μK] Individual deflection ~ 4ψ ~ 10-4 ~ 20 Line of sight deflection ~ (H0-1/L)1/2 ×20 ~ 2.5 Coherence scale ~ (L/H0-1) ~ 2° Want to extract lensing deflection field ψ on sky (OQE Hu 2001, Hu & Okamoto 2002).

  12. CMB – Galaxy Crosscorrelation Since the CMB photon perturbations and matter density perturbations were once tightly coupled, there’s correlation between hot/cold and void/dense. These Tg correlations will be a powerful addition to pure CMB (cf. ISW), especially with nearly fully sky galaxy surveys. Such correlations can also probe specific redshift slices.

  14. Early Dark Energy When w~-1 then perturbations have no effect. We know today w~-1, plus perturbations today would only affect large scales (small l in the CMB). So we need DE at high redshift, either z~1-5 for CMB lensing or Tg, or recombination for CMB itself. Many such Early Dark Energy models exist, and indeed are quite common from high energy physics (dilaton, DBI, moduli, barotropic models). Thus, there is a high redshift frontier for DE, that only CMB can explore. Current constraints have ΩEDE<0.035 (95% cl de Putter, Huterer, Linder 2010) but can still give important effects.[Ωb]

  15. Early, Cold, Stressed Dark Energy Early DE density parametrized by Doran & Robbers 2006 form. (Note ΩΛ(z=103)~10-9.) Perturbations by sound speed cs2=dp/dρ. Quintessence has cs2=1. Largest effect for smallest cs2 – “cold dark energy”. Finally, anisotropic stress cvis≠0 (Hu 1998).

  16. The Speed of Dark Current constraints on cs using CMB (WMAP5), CMB × gal (2MASS,SDSS,NVSS), gal (SDSS). de Putter, Huterer, Linder 2010 ★ ★ Best fit Ωe=0.02, cs=0.04, w0=-0.95 but consistent with Λ within 68% cl.

  17. CMB Lensing in the Future CMB lensing adds powerful leverage on fundamental physics. Neutrino masses smooth perturbations through free streaming. Determining Σm < 0.1 eV decides normal vs. inverted hierarchy. de Putter, Zahn, Linder 2009 de Putter 2009

  18. CMB Lensing in the Future Must include full set of effects on matter power spectrum, e.g. neutrino mass, dark energy. de Putter, Zahn, Linder 2009

  19. Early, Cold, Stressed Dark Energy cs2 Perturbations enhanced by lowering sound speed cs2 (from 1) and suppressed by raising stress cvis2(from 0). Enhanced perturbations strengthen gravitational potential, so reduce photon Sachs-Wolfe power and enhance ISW. cvis2 Calabrese, de Putter, Huterer, Linder, Melchiorri 2010

  20. Early, Cold, Stressed Dark Energy Also affects CMB lensing. Enhanced perturbations New degrees of freedom can be detected; testing consistency difficult. Does not degrade other parameters. ★ ★

  22. Testing Gravity Can also test gravity in model-independent way. Gravity and growth: Gravity and acceleration: Areandthe same? (yes, in GR) Daniel & Linder 2010 ; also Song 2010 G relates the metric to the density (Poisson+ eq); central to ISW and lensing. V relates the metric to the motion (velocity/growth eq); central to growth.

  23. Current Data Testing GR Model independent test of GR: divide G, V into high/low z and high/low k bins – test time and scale dependence. “2x2x2 gravity” Daniel & Linder 2010 WMAP7+Union2+CFHTLS WMAP7+Union2+CFHTLS+Tg+gg COSMOS

  24. Future Data Testing GR Dotted=Current (TT+SN)space +Tg+gg 3D galaxy survey can play big role. Future data offer 5-10% tests of 8 post-GR parameters.

  27. Testing Expansion History How well do we really know the standard picture of radiation domination  matter domination  dark energy domination? Not well at all in detail. Although we know the magnitude of H, we don’t know its slope. Even during BBN, w=[0,1]. Maybe acceleration is occasional; two ways to get early acceleration: Carroll & Kaplinghat 2002 Superacceleration Superdeceleration w<<-1 w=+1

  28. Early Acceleration Superacceleration: Less than 0.035 e-folds allowed by dynamics (if w too negative, Ωw driven too small to allow wtot<-1/3). Also, Nacc~(1+zacc)-3. Linder 2010 Superdeceleration: Best probe to early universe is CMB. Expansion enters in many ways! We can probe back to when a mode entered the horizon: l >η0/η(zmod)

  29. CMB Probes of Acceleration Post-recombination, peaks  left and adds ISW. Pre-recombination, peaks  right and adds SW. Linder & Smith 2010 Effect of 0.1 e-fold of acceleration

  30. Cosmic Acceleration WMAP7+ACT rules out extra acceleration back to z~3×104. Planck can test back to z~2×105. Current acceleration unique within last factor 100,000 of cosmic expansion!

  31. Summary “World Class University” program in Seoul, Korea. 8 postdocs hired, 5 more open, 2 new faculty open. Spatial variation of dark energy and early dark energy are exciting frontiers, and the CMB is the prime probe for them. CMB lensing and CMB-galaxy correlations can probe fundamental physics – neutrino mass, dark energy microphysics, gravity. E.g. “early, cold, or stressed” dark energy and 8 post-GR parameters to 10%. Expansion history can be tested to z~105. Current acceleration appears unique!
