Cosmic 21-cm Fluctuations as a Probe of Fundamental Physics
Fluctuations in high-redshift cosmic 21-cm radiation provide a new window for observing unconventional effects of high-energy physics in the primordial spectrum of density perturbations. In scenarios for which the initial state prior to inflation is modified at short distances, or for which deviations from scale invariance arise during the course of inflation, the cosmic 21-cm power spectrum ca...
متن کاملThe Lyman-α forest as a probe of fundamental physics
We use LUQAS, a sample of 27 high resolution high signal-to-noise UVES quasar (QSO) spectra (Kim et al. 2004), and the Croft et al. (2002) sample together with a set of high resolution large box size hydro-dynamical simulations run with the code GADGET-II to recover the linear dark matter power spectrum at z > 2 and at scales of 1− 40 h Mpc. These scales cannot be probed by any other observable...
متن کاملPrimordial nucleosynthesis as a probe of fundamental physics parameters
We analyze the effect of variation of fundamental couplings and mass scales on primordial nucleosynthesis in a systematic way. The first step establishes the response of primordial element abundances to the variation of a large number of nuclear physics parameters, including nuclear binding energies. We find a strong influence of the n−p mass difference (for the He abundance), of the nucleon ma...
متن کاملTime Variation of Fundamental Constants as a Probe of New Physics
There has recently been reported evidence for a possible time variation of the fine structure constant on cosmological time scales . Such variations are not surprising in any theoretical framework for the unification of basic forces involving extra dimensions or in which dimensionless couplings are related to the expectation values of scalar fields. However, the variation of α is likely to be c...
متن کاملStrong laser fields as a probe for fundamental physics
Upcoming high-intensity laser systems will be able to probe the quantum-induced nonlinear regime of electrodynamics. So far unobserved QED phenomena such as the discovery of a nonlinear response of the quantum vacuum to macroscopic electromagnetic fields can become accessible. In addition, such laser systems provide for a flexible tool for investigating fundamental physics. Primary goals consis...
