Study of the Experimental Probe of Inflationary Cosmology (EPIC)-Intemediate Mission for NASA's Einstein Inflation Probe (2009)

Bock, James, Aljabri, Abdullah, Amblard, Alex, Baumann, Daniel, Betoule, Marc, Chui, Talso, ...

Measurements of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropy have served as the best experimental probe of the early universe to date. The inflationary paradigm, inspired in part by the extreme...

CMBPol Mission Concept Study: Probing Inflation with CMB Polarization (2008)

Baumann, Daniel, Jackson, Mark G, Adshead, Peter, Amblard, Alexandre, Ashoorioon, Amjad, Bartolo, Nicola, ...

We summarize the utility of precise cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization measurements as probes of the physics of inflation. We focus on the prospects for using CMB measurements to...

CMBPol Mission Concept Study: Reionization Science with the Cosmic Microwave Background (2008)

Zaldarriaga, Matias, Colombo, Loris, Komatsu, Eiichiro, Lidz, Adam, Mortonson, Michael, Oh, S. Peng, ...

We summarize existing constraints on the epoch of reionization and discuss the observational probes that are sensitive to the process. We focus on the role large scale polarization can play....

Dark Matter, Dark Energy and the solution of the strong CP problem (2006)

Mainini, Roberto, Colombo, Loris, Bonometto, Silvio

The strong CP problem was solved by Peccei & Quinn by introducing axions, a viable candidate for Dark Matter (DM). Here the PQ approach is modified so to yield also Dark Energy (DE). DM and DE arise,...

Dark Matter and Dark Energy from a single scalar field (2005)

Mainini, Roberto, Colombo, Loris, Bonometto, Silvio A.

The strong CP problem was solved by Peccei & Quinn by introducing axions, which are a viable candidate for DM. Here the PQ approach is modified so to yield also Dark Energy (DE), which arises in fair...
