Particle Astrophysics & Cosmology SS 2008 10 Gravity: attracting force Photon pressure: driving force baryonic matter coupled to photons photon pressure prevents collapse prior to recombination (while DM is already forming structure much earlier!)
11
Particle Astrophysics & Cosmology SS 2008 11 Oscillations produce T > 0 or T < 0 bluered Lowest mode (or wave number) corresponds to acoustic waves that managed to contract (or expand) once until recombination 2nd mode managed to contract and expand once until recombination, a.s.o. n = n · c s · s* -1 = n · c/ 3 · s -1 = n · 10 -13 Hz not “audible”... T n = t rec /n = n -1 · 300000 yr
12
Particle Astrophysics & Cosmology SS 2008 12 Angular distribution in the sky: After recombination, photons travel freely and convey their last information - hot or cold, as a function of angular position - to the observer; spatial inhomogeneity is con- verted into an angular anisotropy The larger the distance they arrive from, the more complex the angular pattern higher multipoles prior to recombination, photons correspond to higher and lower temp- erature

Particle Astrophysics & Cosmology SS 2008 16 The first peak: spatial curvature Fundamental scale at recombination (the distance that sound could travel) is converted into a fundamental angular scale on the sky today The first (and strongest) peak measures the geometry of the universe caveat: change in produces slight shift, too ( causes slight change in distance that light travels from recombination to the observer) 1st peak, current score: 0 = 1.02 ± 0.02
17
Particle Astrophysics & Cosmology SS 2008 17 The second peak: baryons and inertia: baryons add inertia to the plasma contraction goes stronger, while the rarefaction remains the same! compression corresponds to odd peaks rarefaction corresponds to even peaks higher baryon loading enhances odd over even peaks

Particle Astrophysics & Cosmology SS 2008 19 2nd peak, current score: b ·h 2 = 0.0224 ± 0.0009 in nice agreement with b from deuterium abundance (QSO absorption lines) Two more effects related to b : (i) increasing baryon load slows oscillations down long waves don’t have enough time to build up larger k preferred if b increases power spectrum pushed to slightly higher l (ii) increasing b leads to more efficient damping of waves (s.b.), which is stronger for shorter wavelengths spectrum falls of more rapidly towards large l (iii) decreasing m smaller baryon-loading effect
20
Particle Astrophysics & Cosmology SS 2008 20 The third peak: decay of potentials Poisson equation Since r R -4 and m R -3, is governed by r in the state of highest compression However, rapid expansion of the universe leads to instant- aneous decay of ! The fluid now sees no gravitation to fight against amplitude of oscillations goes way up: driving force!
21
Particle Astrophysics & Cosmology SS 2008 21 Driving force obviously more important in smaller (younger) universe, i.e. for r » m Since modes with small wavelengths started first, it is the higher acoustic peaks that are more prone to this effect. Increasing m ·h 2 decreases the driving force amplitudes of waves decrease Influence of m only separable from that of b by measuring at least the first three peaks 3rd peak, current score: m = 0.27 0.04 = 0.73 0.04 in good agreement with other, independent methods (galaxy clusters, SNe)
22
Particle Astrophysics & Cosmology SS 2008 22 effect of damping
23
Particle Astrophysics & Cosmology SS 2008 23 Damping depends on both, b and m b : increasing baryon density couples the photon-baryon fluid more tightly, hence shifts the damping tail to smaller angular scales, i.e. higher l m : increasing total matter density increases relative age of the universe, hence the angular scale of the damping is increased, shifting the damping tail to lower l
