Dark EnergyDark energy dominated the universe twice. Very early time (~10-35 seconds) Very late time (~6 billion years – today) Fundamental ingredients in the Standard Model of
Cosmology
Dark energy caused the universe to accelerate This property defines dark energy, and this is why dark
energy is not called “dark matter” – matter never accelerates the expansion of the universe.
Early acceleration – Inflation Late acceleration – acceleration today (second inflation)

Inflation: Generation of Primordial Fluctuations
QM + GR = A Surprise! Particle Creation in Curved Space Time
Even in vacuum, an observer moving with acceleration detects a lot of particles!! Not even GR: spacetime with uniform acceleration (no gravity still) is called “Rindl
er’s space”, and an observer in Rindler’s space detects particles. A famous example is the Hawking Radiation
Curved spacetime around a black hole creates scalar particles with a black body spectrum. The black hole will eventually “evaporate” when particles carried away all the mass energy of the black hole.
Punch Line: Particles are also created in an accelerating universe. Leonard Parker, “Particle Creation in Expanding Universes”, Physical
Review Letters, 21, 562 (1968)

Particle Creation = Primordial Fluctuations
The particle creation causes spacetime to fluctuate.Inflation generates primordial fluctuations in spacetime Scalar modes create primordial density fluctuations. Tensor modes create primordial gravitational waves. Vector modes are not excited.
No primordial vorticity.
The amplitude of primordial fluctuations is proportional to Hubble’s function during inflation. Therefore, precision measurements of the spectrum of primo
rdial fluctuations enable us to determine the evolution of H(t) during inflation. This is the prime goal of Cosmic Inflation Probe.

From Primordial Fluctuations to Observed
FluctuationsPrimordial fluctuations in spacetime have nearly a “scale-invariant” spectrum; however, primordial density fluctuations do not.
• Also, the evolution of density fluctuations is affected by the presence of radiation during the radiation era. The power spectrum of density fluctuations is therefore highly “scale-variant”.

Toward “the” Inflation ModelWhat is necessary?More accurate measurements of P(k)
Not just statistical error! Minimum systematic errorSample more k-modes
One solution = A galaxy survey at high-zWhy high-z? Less non-linear power!
As the universe ages, gravitational effects distort initial power spectrum on increasingly larger scales
• At z=6, non-linear contribution at k=1 Mpc-1 is about 15%.

Baryonic Features: The Standard Ruler

“Baryonic Oscillations” in P(k)Baryon density fluctuations propagate through the universe before the decoupling epoch (z~1089) The sound speed ~ the sound speed of relativistic fluid.
The baryonic sound wave could travel to a certain distance by the decoupling epoch, the sound horizon, at which baryonic density fluctuations are enhanced. Sound horizon = 147 +- 2 Mpc determined from WMAP
Point: P(k) is the Fourier transform of the real space two-point correlation function (which was plotted in the previous slide) the enhanced peak would be transformed into a sinusoidal o
scillation in Fourier space: baryonic oscillations.

How to Use the Standard Ruler
We measure the correlation of galaxies on the sky. Divide the sound horizon distance (which is known) by the
angular separation of the baryonic feature. This gives the angular diameter distance, which is an integral of 1/H(z).
We also measure the correlation of galaxies along the line of sight in redshift space. Divide the redshift separation of the baryonic feature by th
e sound horizon distance. This gives H(z) directly.
Therefore, the baryonic oscillations give both the angular diameter distance and H(z).

Goals for HETDEX
• HETDEX measures redshifts for about 1 million LAEs from 1.8<z<3.8
•Wavelength coverage: 340-550 nm at R~800• Baryonic oscillations determine H(z) and Da(z) to 1% and 1.4% in 3 redshift bins• Constraints on constant w to about one percent• Tightest constraints on evolving w at z=0.4 (to a few percent)
![Page 31: Cosmology with High-z Galaxy Survey Eiichiro Komatsu University of Texas at Austin U. of Florida, October 13, 2006 HETDEX Gary Hill Phillip McQueen Karl](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e415503460f94b33182/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Ly- emitters as tracersProperties of LAEs have been investigated through NB imaging Most work has focused on z ~ 3 – 4, little is known at z ~ 2 Limiting flux densities ~few e-17 erg/cm2/s
They are numerous A few per sq. arcmin per z=1 at z~3
But significant cosmic variance between surveys 5000 – 10000 per sq. deg. Per z=1 at z~3
Largest volume MUSYC survey still shows significant variance in 0.25 sq. degree areas
Bias of 2 – 3 inferred
Basic properties of LAEs would make them a good tracer if they could be detected with a large area integral field spectrograph units (IFUs) Has the advantage of avoiding targeting inefficiency

VIRUS
Visible IFU Replicable Unit Spectrograph Prototype of the industrial replication concept
Massive replication of inexpensive unit spectrograph cuts costs and development time
Each unit spectrograph Covers 0.22 sq. arcmin and 340-550 nm wavelength range, R=850 246 fibers each 1 sq. arcsec on the sky
145 VIRUS would cover 30 sq. arcminutes per observation Detect 14 million independent resolution elements per exposure
This grasp will be sufficient to obtain survey in ~110 nights Using Ly- emitting galaxies as tracers, will measure the galaxy po
wer spectrum to 1%

Experimental RequirementsA LAE DE survey reaching <1% precision requires: large volume to average over sample variance
200-500 sq. degrees and z ~ 2 this is 6-15 Gpc3 at z~2-4
surface density ~3000 per sq. degree per z=1; ~1 M galaxies LAEs have 18,000 /sq. deg./z=1 at line flux ~1e-17 erg/cm2/s only require a fill factor of ~1/9 to have sufficient statistics so we can trade fill factor for total area
lowest possible minimum redshift (bluest wavelength coverage) z = 1.8 at 3400 A is a practical limit ties in well with high redshift limit of SNAP and other experiments
These science requirements determined the basic specifications of VIRUS

Parameter Forecast
•CIP, in combination with the CMB data from Planck, will determine the tilt and running to a few x 10-3 level.
•The running predicted by a very simple inflationary model (a massive scalar field with self-interaction) predicts the running of (0.8-1.2) x 10-3, which is not very far away from CIP’s sensitivity.
•More years of operation, or a larger FOV may allow us to measure the running from the simplest inflationary models.
•The limit on neutrino masses will be 20-40 times better than the current limit.

HETDEX + 3% Flat prior
Comparison of various DE projects (for w=w0+wa[1-a])Curvature assumption is very important for HETDEX (high-z)

Redshift Space DistortionSince we are measuring redshifts, the measured clustering length of galaxies in z-direction will be affected by peculiar velocity of galaxies. This is the so-called “redshift space distortion”.
Angular direction is not affected at all by this effect.In the linear regime, the clustering length in z-direction appears shorter than actually is. This is not the “finger-of-god”! The finger-of-god is the no
n-linear effect.

Work to be done (1): Non-linear Bias
The largest systematic error is the effect of galaxy bias on the shape of the power spectrum.
It is easy to correct if the bias is linear; however, it won’t be linear when the underlying matter clustering is non-linear.
How do we deal with it?

SummaryHigh-z galaxy surveys are capable of addressing the most important questions in modern cosmology What is dark energy? What powered inflation?
UT surveys cover the largest range in redshift space (1.8<z<3.8 & 3<z<6.5). These two experiments are highly complementary in redshifts, and address two different (but potentially related) questions. The nature of early & late dark energy.
Timeline? HETDEX

Expected Number CountsSensitivity of VIRUS (5-) 2e-17 erg/cm2/s at z=2 1e-17 erg/cm2/s at z=3 0.8e-17 erg/cm2/s at z=4
Detected # LAEs approximately constant with redshift sensitivity tracks distance modulus predict ~5 / sq. arcmin = 18,000 / sq. deg. per z = 1
With z~1 and 1/9 fill factor, expect 3,000 LAEs/sq. degree 0.6 million in 200 sq. degrees Sufficient to constrain the position of the BO peaks to <1%
HETDEX will require ~1100 hours exposure or ~110 good dark nights Needs 3 Spring trimesters to complete (not a problem: HET is O
UR telescope!)

Why LAEs?Target-selection for efficient spectroscopy is a challenge in measuring DE with baryonic oscillations from ground-based observations LRGs selected photometrically work well to z~0.8
High bias tracer already used to detect B.O. in SDSS Higher redshifts require large area, deep IR photometry Probably can’t press beyond z~2 Spectroscopic redshifts from absorption-line spectroscopy
[OII] and H emitters can work to z~2.5 with IR MOS But difficult to select photometrically with any certainty
Lyman Break Galaxies work well for z>2.5 Photometric selection requires wide-field U-band photometry Only ~25% show emission lines
Ly- emitters detectable for z>1.7 Numerous at achievable short-exposure detection limits Properties poorly understood (N(z) and bias)
