The Cosmic Microwave Background [PDF]
Living Reviews in Relativity, 1998 We present a brief review of current theory and observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). New predictions for cosmological defect theories and an overview of the inflationary theory are discussed.

Optimization of a Microwave Polarimeter for Astronomy with Optical Correlation and Detection [PDF]
Sensors, 2023 Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) B-modes detection is the main focus of future CMB experiments because of the valuable information it contains, particularly to probe the physics of the very early universe. For this reason, we have developed an optimized

Cosmic microwave background theory. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 1998 A long-standing goal of theorists has been to constrain cosmological parameters that define the structure formation theory from cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy experiments and large-scale structure (LSS) observations. The status and future promise of this enterprise is described.

New physics from the polarized light of the cosmic microwave background [PDF]
Nature Reviews Physics, 2022 The current cosmological model requires new physics beyond the standard model of elementary particles and fields, such as dark matter and dark energy. Their nature is unknown and so is that of the initial fluctuations in the early Universe that led to ...

Improved constraints on cosmic birefringence from the WMAP and Planck cosmic microwave background polarization data [PDF]
Physical Review D, 2022 The observed pattern of linear polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) photons is a sensitive probe of physics violating parity symmetry under inversion of spatial coordinates. A new parity-violating interaction might have rotated the plane

Cross-Correlating Astrophysical and Cosmological Gravitational Wave Backgrounds with the Cosmic Microwave Background. [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2021 General relativity provides us with an extremely powerful tool to extract at the same time astrophysical and cosmological information from the stochastic gravitational-wave backgrounds (SGWBs): the cross-correlation with other cosmological tracers, since
