Cosmological magnetic fields: their generation, evolution and observation
Open accessAbstract
We review the possible mechanisms for the generation of cosmological magnetic fields, discuss their evolution in an expanding Universe filled with the cosmic plasma and provide a critical review of the literature on the subject. We put special emphasis on the prospects for observational tests of the proposed cosmological magnetogenesis scenarios using radio and gammaray astronomy and ultra high energy cosmic rays. We argue that primordial magnetic fields are observationally testable. They lead to magnetic fields in the intergalactic medium with magnetic field strength and correlation length in a well defined range. We also state the unsolved questions in this fascinating open problem of cosmology and propose future observations to address them.

“For a given magnetic field spectrum, all these effects can be included in standard n Boltzmann codes like CAMB by Lewis and Bridle (2002), which treat the photon+baryon+dark matter system within linear perturbation theory to compute CMB anisotropies and polarization (Shaw and Lewis 2012).”

“The effective viscosity in the gas of relativistic is related to the mean free path of the least coupled particle is ν̃ = λmfp/5, see Weinberg (1971) and Appendix A, so that the viscous dissipation scale λd ≃ ν̃/v is close to the particle mean free path for the characteristic plasma/fluid…”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
