The magnetized universe

M Giovannini - International Journal of Modern Physics D, 2004 - World Scientific
Cosmology, high-energy physics and astrophysics are today converging to the study of large
scale magnetic fields. While the experimental evidence for the existence of large scale …

The cosmic microwave background and particle physics

M Kamionkowski, A Kosowsky - Annual Review of Nuclear and …, 1999 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract In forthcoming years, connections between cosmology and particle physics will
become increasingly important with the advent of a new generation of cosmic microwave …

Primordial hypermagnetic fields and the triangle anomaly

M Giovannini, ME Shaposhnikov - Physical Review D, 1998 - APS
The high-temperature plasma above the electroweak scale∼ 100 GeV may have contained
a primordial hypercharge magnetic field whose anomalous coupling to the fermions induces …

Large-scale magnetic fields from hydromagnetic turbulence in the very early universe

A Brandenburg, K Enqvist, P Olesen - Physical Review D, 1996 - APS
We investigate hydromagnetic turbulence of primordial magnetic fields using
magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) in an expanding universe. We present the basic, covariant …

Cosmological magnetic field limits in an inhomogeneous universe

P Blasi, S Burles, AV Olinto - The Astrophysical Journal, 1999 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the effect of inhomogeneities in the matter distribution of the universe on the
Faraday rotation of light from distant QSOs and derive new limits on the cosmological …

Constraints on a primordial magnetic field

JD Barrow, PG Ferreira, J Silk - Physical Review Letters, 1997 - APS
We derive an upper limit of B 0< 3.4× 10− 9 (Ω 0 h 50 2) 1/2 G on the present strength of any
primordial homogeneous magnetic field. The microwave background anisotropy created by …

Damping of cosmic magnetic fields

K Jedamzik, V Katalinić, AV Olinto - Physical Review D, 1998 - APS
We examine the evolution of magnetic fields in an expanding fluid composed of matter and
radiation with particular interest in the evolution of cosmic magnetic fields. We derive the …

Cosmological limits on slightly skew stresses

JD Barrow - Physical Review D, 1997 - APS
We present an analysis of the cosmological evolution of matter sources with small
anisotropic pressures. This includes electric and magnetic fields, collisionless relativistic …

Microwave background signatures of a primordial stochastic magnetic field

A Mack, T Kahniashvili, A Kosowsky - Physical Review D, 2002 - APS
A stochastic magnetic field in the early universe will produce anisotropies in the temperature
and polarization of the cosmic microwave background. We derive analytic expressions for …

Limit on primordial small-scale magnetic fields from cosmic microwave background distortions

K Jedamzik, V Katalinić, AV Olinto - Physical Review Letters, 2000 - APS
Spatially varying primordial magnetic fields may be efficiently dissipated prior to the epoch of
recombination due to the large viscosity of the baryon-photon fluid. We show that this …
