The decisive future of inflation

no code implementations26 Mar 2018 Robert J. Hardwick, Vincent Vennin, David Wands

We also modify the form of the expected utility, as previously introduced in the literature in different contexts, in order to partition each possible future into either the rejection of models at the level of the maximum likelihood or the decision between models using Bayesian model comparison.

Impact of polarisation on the intrinsic CMB bispectrum

1 code implementation11 Jun 2014 Guido W. Pettinari, Christian Fidler, Robert Crittenden, Kazuya Koyama, Antony Lewis, David Wands

We find that the presence of the intrinsic bispectrum will bias a measurement of primordial non-Gaussianity of local type by $f_{NL}^\text{bias}=0. 66$ for an ideal experiment with $\ell_\text{max}=3000$.

The intrinsic B-mode polarisation of the Cosmic Microwave Background

no code implementations14 Jan 2014 Christian Fidler, Guido W. Pettinari, Martin Beneke, Robert Crittenden, Kazuya Koyama, David Wands

The intrinsic B-mode polarisation is present independent of the initial conditions and might contaminate the signal from primordial gravitational waves.

The intrinsic bispectrum of the Cosmic Microwave Background

1 code implementation4 Feb 2013 Guido W. Pettinari, Christian Fidler, Robert Crittenden, Kazuya Koyama, David Wands

We develop a new, efficient code for solving the second-order Einstein-Boltzmann equations, and use it to estimate the intrinsic CMB non-Gaussianity arising from the non-linear evolution of density perturbations.
