Photon-neutrino scattering and theB-mode spectrum of CMB photons

Abstract: On the basis of the quantum Boltzmann equation governing the time-evolution of the density matrix of polarized CMB photons in the primordial scalar perturbations of metric, we calculate the B-mode spectrum of polarized CMB photons contributed from the scattering of CMB photons and CNB neutrinos (Cosmic Neutrino Background). We show that such contribution to the B-mode spectrum is negligible for small ℓ, however is significantly large for 50 < ℓ < 200 by plotting our results together with the BICEP2 data. Our s… Show more

“…The BICEP2 data could be explained by the scalar and tensor modes from primordial magnetic fields [2]. The interaction between CMB photons and CNB Neutrinos can produce the B-mode spectrum [5] even with the scalar perturbation only. The Planck group presented discussions that the result of BICEP2 can be fully attributed to cosmic dust [6].…”

“…The B-mode not only helps to estimate r-parameter but also it can be used to constrain the bound on the strength of primordial magnetic field [30], the neutrino masses [31], modification of the gravity [32,33], cosmic (super-) string [34][35][36] and other fundamental physics [37]. Also in recent years, many mechanisms have been reported which are capable to generate the magnetic like polarization [38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49]. Also it is worthwhile to note, the small field models of inflation can generate a significant primordial gravitational wave signal which predicts a value of r parameter as high as 0.01 [50].…”

“…Some of our recent works also discussed the generation of B-mode polarization in the presence of scalar perturbations via Cosmic Neutrino Background and CMB interactions [47,59,60], nonlinear photons interactions [61], photon interaction by considering extensions to QED such as Lorentzinvariant violating operators [62], non-commutative geometry [49], interaction of dipolar dark matter with CMB photons [63] and photon-fermion forward scattering [64]. Also the intrinsic B-mode polarization is calculated by using the Boltzmann code SONG [65] which induce in the CMB by the evolution of primordial density perturbations at second order [66].…”
