Abstract: Recent satellite observations have revealed significant anisotropy in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation, a phenomenon that had previously been detected but received limited attention due to its subtlety. With the advent of more precise measurements from satellites, the extent of this anisotropy has become increasingly apparent. This paper examines the CMB radiation by reviewing past research on the causes of CMB anisotropy and presents a new model to explain the observed temperature anisotropy and the anisotropy in the correlation function between temperature and E-mode polarization in the CMB radiation. The proposed model is based on a modified-generalized Compton scattering approach incorporating Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG). We begin by describing the generalized Compton scattering and then discuss the CMB radiation in the context of processes occurring at the last scattering surface. Our findings are derived from the latest observational data from the Planck satellite (2018). In our model, besides the parameters available in the Planck data for the standard model ($Lambda$CDM), we introduce two novel parameters: $delta_{L}$, the density of cosmic electrons, and $M^2$, a parameter related to the modified-generalized Compton scattering effects. The results indicate that, based on the 2018 Planck data, small values were obtained for $delta_{L}$ and $M^{2}$, $delta_{L}=1.63pm0.08(10^{-13})$ and $M^2=2.28pm0.34(10^{-4})$), showing no significant deviation from the standard model. Moreover, increasing the values of $delta_{L}$ and $M^{2}$ leads to an increase in the range of fluctuations in the CMB temperature anisotropy power spectrum and the correlation function between temperature and E-mode polarization for multipoles $l<500$ until the first peak.

Understanding Anisotropy in Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation

Recent satellite observations have shed light on the significant anisotropy in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation, a phenomenon that was previously overlooked. The advancement of satellite technology has allowed for more precise measurements, revealing the extent of this anisotropy.

Causes of CMB Anisotropy

This paper delves into the causes of CMB anisotropy by reviewing past research. The existing understanding of temperature anisotropy and the anisotropy in the correlation function between temperature and E-mode polarization in CMB radiation is explored.

A New Model

To explain the observed anisotropy, the authors introduce a new model based on a modified-generalized Compton scattering approach that incorporates Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG). The paper first describes the generalized Compton scattering and then delves into the CMB radiation in the context of processes occurring at the last scattering surface.

Findings from Latest Observational Data

The findings presented in this paper are derived from the latest observational data gathered by the Planck satellite in 2018. In addition to the parameters available in the Planck data for the standard model ($Lambda$CDM), the authors introduce two novel parameters: $delta_{L}$, the density of cosmic electrons, and $M^2$, a parameter related to the modified-generalized Compton scattering effects.

The results from the analysis of the 2018 Planck data indicate that small values were obtained for $delta_{L}$ and $M^{2}$ ($delta_{L}=1.63pm0.08(10^{-13})$ and $M^2=2.28pm0.34(10^{-4})$). This suggests that there is no significant deviation from the standard model. Furthermore, increasing the values of $delta_{L}$ and $M^{2}$ leads to an increase in the range of fluctuations in the CMB temperature anisotropy power spectrum and the correlation function between temperature and E-mode polarization for multipoles $l

Roadmap for the Future

Building upon the findings of this study, future research in the field of CMB anisotropy could focus on several areas:

  1. Verification of Model: The proposed modified-generalized Compton scattering approach incorporating LQG should be further tested against additional observational data to validate its accuracy. This would involve collecting more precise measurements using advanced satellite technology.
  2. Understanding Deviations: Investigating potential deviations from the standard model is crucial for expanding our understanding of the universe. Future studies could explore higher values of $delta_{L}$ and $M^{2}$ to examine the impact on the range of fluctuations in the CMB temperature anisotropy power spectrum and the correlation function between temperature and E-mode polarization.
  3. Implications for Dark Matter and Dark Energy: Exploring the relationship between CMB anisotropy and dark matter/dark energy could provide valuable insights into the composition and behavior of the universe.
  4. Alternative Models: While the proposed model shows no significant deviation from the standard model, researchers can investigate alternative models that may offer a more comprehensive explanation for CMB anisotropy.

The road ahead in the study of CMB anisotropy holds exciting opportunities for expanding our knowledge of the universe. As technology advances and more precise data becomes available, we can look forward to unraveling the mysteries behind the anisotropy in cosmic microwave background radiation.
