Planck 2013 results. XXII. Constraints on inflation

Julien Lesgourgues, Jean-Luc Starck, Fabio Finelli, Jan Hamann

We analyse the implications of the Planck data for cosmic inflation. The Planck nominal mission temperature anisotropy measurements, combined with the WMAP large-angle polarization, constrain the scalar spectral index to be n(s) = 0.9603 +/- 0:0073, ruling ...

Strongest model-independent bound on the lifetime of Dark Matter

Julien Lesgourgues, Benjamin Audren

Dark Matter is essential for structured formation in the late Universe so it must be stable on cosmological time scales. But how stable exactly? Only assuming decays into relativistic on particles, we report an otherwise model independent bound on the life ...

Planck 2013 results. XVII. Gravitational lensing by large-scale structure

Julien Lesgourgues, Fabio Finelli

On the arcminute angular scales probed by Planck, the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies are gently perturbed by gravitational lensing. Here we present a detailed study of this effect, detecting lensing independently in the 100, 143, and 217 GH ...

Evidence for major mergers of galaxies at 2 less than or similar to z < 4 in the VVDS and VUDS surveys

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib

Context. The mass assembly of galaxies can proceed through different physical processes. Here we report on the spectroscopic identification of close physical pairs of galaxies at redshifts 2 less than or similar to z < 4 and discuss the impact of major mer ...

Effects of cosmic strings with delayed scaling on CMB anisotropy

Kohei Kamada

The network of cosmic strings generated in a phase transition during inflation enters the scaling regime later than that of usual strings. If it occurs after the recombination, temperature anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) at high multi ...

Topological inflation from the Starobinsky model in supergravity

Kohei Kamada

We consider the ghost-free higher-order corrections to the Starobinsky model in the old-minimal supergravity, focusing on a sector among several scalar fields in the model that reproduces the scalaron potential in the original Starobinsky model. In general ...

Planck 2013 results. I. Overview of products and scientific results

Julien Lesgourgues, Xin Chen, Jason Douglas McEwen, Slobodan Ilic, Ji Hyun Kim, Fabio Finelli, Jan Hamann

The European Space Agency's Planck satellite, dedicated to studying the early Universe and its subsequent evolution, was launched 14 May 2009 and has been scanning the microwave and submillimetre sky continuously since 12 August 2009. In March 2013, ESA an ...

Higgs-dilaton cosmology: An effective field theory approach

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Georgios Karananas, Javier Rubio

The Higgs-dilaton cosmological model is able to describe simultaneously an inflationary expansion in the early Universe and a dark energy dominated stage responsible for the present day acceleration. It also leads to a nontrivial relation between the spect ...

Higgs inflation: consistency and generalisations

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Sergey Sibiryakov, Amaury Magnin

We analyse the self-consistency of inflation in the Standard Model, where the Higgs field has a large non-minimal coupling to gravity. We determine the domain of energies in which this model represents a valid effective field theory as a function of the ba ...

Single-field inflation constraints from CMB and SDSS data

Julien Lesgourgues, Fabio Finelli, Jan Hamann

We present constraints on canonical single-field inflation derived from WMAP five year, ACBAR, QUAD, BICEP data combined with the halo power spectrum from SDSS LRG7. Models with a non-scale-invariant spectrum and a red tilt n(S) < 1 are now preferred over ...

Inflaton mass in the nu WSM inflation

Yannick Bartocci

We analyze the reheating in the modification of the nu MSM (Standard Model with three right handed neutrinos with masses below the electroweak scale) where one of the sterile neutrinos, which provides the Dark Matter, is generated in decays of the addition ...
