Cosmology, University of Bologna – May Cosmology: Polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background Steven T. Myers University of Bologna and the National Radio Astronomy Observatory – Socorro, NM

Cosmology, University of Bologna – May Polarization basics

Cosmology, University of Bologna – May Physics of polarization Maxwell’s Equations + Wave Equation –EB=0 (perpendicular) ; E z = B z = 0 (transverse) Electric Vector – 2 orthogonal independent waves: –E x = E 1 cos( k z –  t +  1 ) k = 2  / –E y = E 2 cos( k z –  t +  2 )  = 2  –describes helical path on surface of a cylinder… –parameters E 1, E 2,  =  1 -  2 define ellipse electric vector traces ellipse viewed along k direction

Cosmology, University of Bologna – May The Polarization Ellipse Axes of ellipse E a, E b –S 0 = E E 2 2 = E a 2 + E b 2 Poynting flux –  phase difference  = k z –  t –E  = E a cos (  +  ) = E x cos  + E y sin  –E  = E b sin (  +  = -E x sin  + E y cos  Rohlfs & Wilson

Cosmology, University of Bologna – May The polarization ellipse continued… Ellipticity and Orientation –E 1 / E 2 = tan  tan 2  = - tan 2  cos  –E a / E b = tan  sin 2  = sin 2  sin  –handedness ( sin  > 0 or tan  > 0  right-handed ) Rohlfs & Wilson

Cosmology, University of Bologna – May Polarization ellipse – special cases Linear polarization –  =  1 -  2 = m  m = 0, ±1, ±2, … –ellipse becomes straight line –electric vector position angle  =  Circular polarization –  = ½ ( 1 + m )  m = 0, 1, ±2, … –equation of circle E x 2 + E y 2 = E 2 –orthogonal linear components: E x = E cos  E y = ±E cos (  -  /2 ) note quarter-wave delay between E x and E y !

Cosmology, University of Bologna – May Linear and Circular representations Orthogonal Linear representation (E x, E y ) : –E  = E a cos (  +  ) = E x cos  + E y sin  –E  = E b sin (  +   = -E x sin  + E y cos  Orthogonal Circular representation (E r, E l ) : –E  = E a cos (  +  ) = ( E r + E l ) cos (  +  ) –E  = E b sin (  +   = ( E r - E l ) cos (  +  –  /2 ) –E r = ½ ( E a + E b ) –E l = ½ ( E a – E b ) Free to choose the orthogonal basis for polarization: –a monochromatic wave can be expressed as the superposition of two orthogonal linearly polarized waves –equally well described as superposition of two orthogonal circularly polarized waves!

Cosmology, University of Bologna – May The Poincare Sphere Treat 2  and 2  as longitude and latitude on sphere of radius S 0 Rohlfs & Wilson

Cosmology, University of Bologna – May Stokes parameters Spherical coordinates: radius I, axes Q, U, V –S 0 = I = E a 2 + E b 2 –S 1 = Q = S 0 cos 2  cos 2  –S 2 = U = S 0 cos 2  sin 2  –S 3 = V = S 0 sin 2  Only 3 independent parameters: –S 0 2 = S S S 3 2 –I 2 = Q 2 + U 2 + V 2 Stokes parameters I,Q,U,V –form complete description of wave polarization –NOTE: above true for monochromatic wave! –for non-monochromatic sources: partial polarization I 2 > Q 2 + U 2 + V 2

Cosmology, University of Bologna – May Stokes parameters and ellipse Spherical coordinates: radius I, axes Q, U, V –S 0 = I = E a 2 + E b 2 –S 1 = Q = S 0 cos 2  cos 2  –S 2 = U = S 0 cos 2  sin 2  –S 3 = V = S 0 sin 2  In terms of the polarization ellipse: –S 0 = I = E E 2 2 –S 1 = Q = E E 2 2 –S 2 = U = 2 E 1 E 2 cos  –S 3 = V = 2 E 1 E 2 sin  –Note: this is equivalent to what linearly polarized optics see!

Cosmology, University of Bologna – May Stokes parameters special cases Linear Polarization –S 0 = I = E 2 = S –S 1 = Q = I cos 2  –S 2 = U = I sin 2  –S 3 = V = 0 Circular Polarization –S 0 = I = S –S 1 = Q = 0 –S 2 = U = 0 –S 3 = V = S (RCP) or –S (LCP) Note: cycle in 180°

Cosmology, University of Bologna – May Stokes Parameters & coordinates Stokes parameters (parital polarization): – –intensity I (Poynting flux) I 2 = E E 2 2 – –linear polarization Q,U (m I) 2 = Q 2 + U 2 – –circular polarization V (v I) 2 = V 2 Coordinate system dependence: – –I independent – –V depends on choice of “handedness” V > 0 for RCP V = 0 for CMB (no “handedness” in Standard Cosmology!) – –Q,U depend on choice of “North” (plus handedness) Q “points” North, U 45 toward East EVPA  = ½ tan -1 (U/Q) (North through East) – –Note: because of coordinate system dependence, Q and U not useful for CMB statistics in homogeneous and isotropic Universe! Rohlfs & Wilson The Poincare Sphere

Cosmology, University of Bologna – May polarization transverse to line-of- sight transmitted on scattering! The CMB is Polarized Thomson scattering: more radiation from horizontal (hot) than vertical (cold)  outgoing polarization net vertical Above figure courtesy Hu & White 1997

Cosmology, University of Bologna – May Isotropic (monopolar) Scattering  NO net linear polarization animations from Wayne Hu

Cosmology, University of Bologna – May Quadrupolar Scattering  net linear polarization Animations from Wayne Hu

Cosmology, University of Bologna – May Quadrupole and plane wave  net linear polarization is oriented along cold axis of quadrupole Animations from Wayne Hu

Cosmology, University of Bologna – May The local quadrupole at scattering Quadrupole (ℓ=2) has 8 components: m=0, m=±1, m=±2 Density perturbations (from potential fluctuations H) produce scalar modes Vector modes indicate vorticity, and can be produced by defects (e.g. cosmic strings) Tensor modes are produced by gravity waves Courtesy Hu & White– Scalar modes Vector modes Tensor modes

Cosmology, University of Bologna – May E-modes from Scalars Linear polarization “vectors” for plane waves –E (even parity = aligned 0° or 90° to k -vector) from scalar density fluctuations  predominant in standard model! Density waves produce “E-mode” polarization: Figures courtesy Hu & White 1997

Cosmology, University of Bologna – May E & B modes from Tensors Linear polarization “vectors” for plane waves –E (even parity = aligned 0° or 90° to k -vector) from scalar density fluctuations  predominant in standard model! –B (odd parity = at ±45° to k -vector) vector perturbations (vorticity or defects) produce only B-modes tensors (gravity waves) produce both E & B lensing makes B modes from E modes also secondary anisotropies & foregrounds Gravity waves produce “B-mode” polarization: Figures courtesy Hu & White 1997

Cosmology, University of Bologna – May E & B modes on the sky P E B Plane waves add up or interfere on the sky to make “hot” and “cold” spots. E-mode polarization vectors line up as radial “hedgehog” or tangential patterns. B-mode polarization vectors “pinwheel” or curl around peaks/holes. Maxima in E/B are not P maxima – but measure non- local coherences in P E & B live in wave-space!

Cosmology, University of Bologna – May Reionization and Polarization Supression of primary temperature anisotropies –as exp(-  ) –degenerate with amplitude and tilt of spectrum Enhancement of polarization –low ℓ modes E & B increased Second-order conversion of T into secondary anisotropy –not shown here –velocity modulated effects –high ℓ modes Courtesy Wayne Hu – Late reionization reprocesses CMB photons

Cosmology, University of Bologna – May Lensing and Polarization Distorts the background temperature and polarization Converts E to B polarization Can reconstruct from T,E,B on arcminute scales Can probe clusters Courtesy Wayne Hu –

Cosmology, University of Bologna – May Planck: Predicted Power Spectrum Hu & Dodelson ARAA 2002 Planck “error boxes” Note: polarization peaks out of phase w.r.t. intensity peaks due to flow velocities at z =1100 Goal for Beyond Einstein “Inflation Probe” – depends on energy scale of inflation Predicted from large- scale structure

Cosmology, University of Bologna – May CMB Checklist Polarization predictions from inflation-inspired models: CMB is polarized –acoustic peaks in E-mode spectrum from velocity perturbations –E-mode peaks 90° out-of-phase for adiabatic perturbations –vanishing small-scale B-modes –reionization enhanced low ℓ polarization gravity waves from inflation –B-modes from gravity wave tensor fluctuations –very nearly scale invariant with extremely small red tilt (n≈0.98) –decay within horizon ( ℓ≈100) –tensor/scalar ratio r from energy scale of inflation ~ (E inf /10 16 GeV) 4
