CMBR

If the upcoming Planck probe can see tensor modes in the CMBR which isn’t according to the ‘default’ simplest inflation that you would expect most versions can’t reproduce that.

The variations in the temperature of the CMBR reflect variations in the density of matter when the universe was 380,000 years old, at the time of so-called 'recombination' when atomic nuclei captured previously free electrons.

For the large angular-scale fluctuations, the denser regions redshifted the light climbing out of those regions, and therefore produce cooler spots in the CMBR; in contrast, for the small angular-scale fluctuations, denser regions were regions where the plasma was hotter, hence these denser regions produce hotter spots in the CMBR.

Pending a successful deployment, Planck will measure the temperature of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) across the entire celestial sphere, with greater sensitivity and spatial resolution than achieved by its predecessor, NASA's WMAP satellite.

It would have four instruments, a far IR interferometer to measure the CMBR spectrum, two instruments to measure its anisotropy (difference in brightness in different directions), and an instrument to hunt for the diffuse IR background from the first galaxies.

Then, Paul went off to England on a sabbatical and came back with a concept for a new experiment, a balloon-borne far infrared interferometer to measure the CMBR spectrum.

We were able to set some interesting limits on the CMBR intensity, and we got a few publications from them.
