Analytic calculations equation: solution:
Initial condition: A, β, αT : behavior during expansion: Wavelengths > horizon,|hij| = constant; Wavelengths < horizon,|hij| = h/a(t); →lower |hij| at short wavelength λ
Other modification processes :ν free-streaming;uud→p , QCD phase transition;e+e-→2γ, annihilation;accelerating expansion (dark energy ΩΛ);

2、Analytic ClTT, ClTE, ClEE, ClBBgenerated by RGWs , and re-ionized
Boltzmann eq for CMB photons: Equivalent to : with anisotropies polarization
The formal integrations: • where the visibility function for the decoupling process fitted by two half Gaussian functions: Carrying out time integration, one has
Approximate, analytical solution : where with c ~ 0.6, b ~ 0.8

improvements :1.effective range : l < 300 l < 600, covering the first 3 peaks;2. errors only ~ 3%;3. CTTl and CTEl are also obtained ;
ν- free-streaming :1. amplitude reduced by 20~35% for l > 100;2. ClXX are shifted slightly to larger l withΔl ∝ l. Δl =(1~5); (for the first two peaks)
Zero multipole method: to examine the value l~50,where CTEl crosses 0.Our results:Δl by NFS is the same order of magnitude as those caused by inflation index βinf and Ωb. More works are needed before a conclusion can be made.
WMAP5 constraint on CBBl : Phys.Rev.D78, 123005 (2008)
Reionized case ------- possibly by first generation of luminous stellar objects ------- likely occurred z = (6~ 20), uncertain yet; WMAP5 :(sudden re-ionization )z = 11 (95%CL). ------- a major process secondary only to the decoupling V(t) consists of two parts : around z~1100 and around z~11
three models of reionization: • Sudden : • η-linear : • Z-linear:
Approximate, analytical solution : with the coefficients
a1 -- the probability of a polarized photon last scattered during decoupling, a2 -- the probability of a polarized photon last scattered during reionization, both depending upon the optical depth κr: PRD79, 083002 (2009)
Re-ionization bump • location is sensitive to time ηr. • height is sensitive to duration Δηr.
κr - A degeneracy Phys.Rev.D79, 083002 (2009)
κr - β degeneracy broken from the 2nd peak
Re-ionization also shifts l0 around l=50 Therefore, Re-ionization has to be well studied before one can determine major cosmological parameters from CMB observational data.
