摘要
We explore extensions to the Lambda CDM cosmology using measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) from the recent SPT-SZ survey, along with data from WMAP7 and measurements of H-0 and baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO). We check for consistency within Lambda CDM between these data sets, and find some tension. The CMB alone gives weak support to physics beyond Lambda CDM, due to a slight trend relative to Lambda CDM of decreasing power toward smaller angular scales. While it may be due to statistical fluctuation, this trend could also be explained by several extensions. We consider running of the primordial spectral index (dn(s)/d ln k), as well as two extensions that modify the damping tail power (the primordial helium abundance Y-p and the effective number of neutrino species N-eff) and one that modifies the large-scale power due to the integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect (the sum of neutrino masses Sigma m(nu)). These extensions have similar observational consequences and are partially degenerate when considered simultaneously. Of the six one-parameter extensions considered, we find CMB to have the largest preference for dn(s)/d ln k with -0.046 < dn(s)/d lnk < -0.003 at 95% confidence, which strengthens to a 2.7 sigma indication of dn(s)/d lnk < 0 from CMB+BAO+H-0. Detectable dn(s)/d ln k not equal 0 is difficult to explain in the context of single-field, slow-roll inflation models. We find N-eff = 3.62 +/- 0.48 for the CMB, which tightens to N-eff = 3.71 +/- 0.35 from CMB+BAO+H-0. Larger values of N-eff relieve the mild tension between CMB, BAO, and H-0. When the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich selected galaxy cluster abundances (SPTCL) data are also included, we obtain N-eff = 3.29 +/- 0.31. Allowing for Sigma m(nu) gives a 3.0s detection of Sigma m(nu) > 0 from CMB+BAO+H-0 +SPTCL. The median value is (0.32+/-0.11) eV, a factor of six above the lower bound set by neutrino oscillation observations. All data sets except H-0 show some preference for massive neutrinos; data combinations including H-0 favor nonzero masses only if BAO data are also included. We also constrain the two-parameter extensions N-eff + Sigma m(nu) and N-eff + Y-p to explore constraints on additional light species and big bang nucleosynthesis, respectively.
