暴涨模型及观测检验 内容 宇宙微波背景辐射 暴涨模型 微波背景对暴涨模型的检验 展望 the first discovery of CMB radiation in 1964-1965 the Nobel Prize in Physics 1978: A.A. Penzias and R.W. Wilson COBE (Cosmic Background Explorer), launched on 18 Nov. 1989, 4 years the Nobel Prize in Physics 2006: J.C. Mather and G.F. Smoot WMAP (Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe), launched on 30 June 2001, 9 years Planck, launched on 14 May 2009 Other experiments: ground based experiments (QUaD, BICEP, ACT, ACTPol from 2013) balloon borne experiments (BOOMRANG, MAXIMA) reionization thermal Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect lensing effect integrated Sachs-Wolf effect II. 暴涨模型 power-law inflaton coupled to the Gauss-Bonnet term It is known that there are correction terms of higher orders in the curvature to the lowest effective supergravity action coming from superstrings. The simplest correction is the Gauss-Bonnet (GB) term. Does the GB term drive acceleration of the Universe? If so, is it possible to generate nearly scale-invariant curvature perturbations? If not, when the GB term is sub-dominated, what is the influence on the power spectra? How strong WMAP data constrain the GB coupling? Slow-roll inflation with a Gauss-Bonnet correction III. 微波背景对暴涨模型的检验 primordial power spectrum of curvature perturbations: scale-invariant? slightly tilted power-law? running index? suppression at large scales? local features? a critical test of inflation! non-adiabaticity: matter isocurvature modes (axion-type, curvaton-type)? neutrino isocurvature modes? a powerful probe of the physics of inflation! non-Gaussianity: local form (multiple fields)? equilateral form (non-canonical kinetic)? orthogonal form (higher-derivative field)? a powerful test of inflation! primordial gravitational waves: the consistency relation？ smoking-gun evidence for inflation!
