StriSynth: Synthesis for Live Programming

Mikaël Mayer, Ruzica Piskac

Abstract—Motivated by applications in automating repetitive file manipulations, we present a tool called StriSynth, which allows end-users to perform transformations over data using examples. Based on provided examples, our tool automatically generates scr ...

Planck 2013 results. XVI. Cosmological parameters

Xin Chen, Julien Lesgourgues, Fabio Finelli, Jan Hamann

This paper presents the first cosmological results based on Planck measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature and lensing-potential power spectra. We find that the Planck spectra at high multipoles (l greater than or similar to 40) a ...

Hybrid inflation in the complex plane

Valerie Fiona Domcke, Kohei Kamada

Supersymmetric hybrid inflation is an exquisite framework to connect inflationary cosmology to particle physics at the scale of grand unification. Ending in a phase transition associated with spontaneous symmetry breaking, it can naturally explain the gene ...

Planck 2013 results. XXII. Constraints on inflation

Jean-Luc Starck, Julien Lesgourgues, 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 ...

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 ...

How Self-Interactions can Reconcile Sterile Neutrinos with Cosmology

Short baseline neutrino oscillation experiments have shown hints of the existence of additional sterile neutrinos in the eV mass range. However, such neutrinos seem incompatible with cosmology because they have too large of an impact on cosmic structure fo ...

Planck 2013 results. XIX. The integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect

Julien Lesgourgues, Slobodan Ilic, Fabio Finelli

Based on cosmic microwave background (CMB) maps from the 2013 Planck Mission data release, this paper presents the detection of the integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effect, that is, the correlation between the CMB and large-scale evolving gravitational potenti ...

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

Xin Chen, Julien Lesgourgues, 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 ...

Planck 2013 results. XII. Diffuse component separation

Xin Chen, Julien Lesgourgues, Fabio Finelli

Planck has produced detailed all-sky observations over nine frequency bands between 30 and 857 GHz. These observations allow robust reconstruction of the primordial cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature fluctuations over nearly the full sky, as wel ...

Higgs-dilaton cosmology: An effective field theory approach

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 ...
