Constraints on primordial magnetic fields from magnetically-induced perturbations: current status and future perspectives with LiteBIRD and future ground based experiments

We present the constraints on the amplitude of magnetic fields generated prior to the recombination using CMB temperature and polarization anisotropy data from Planck 2018 release, alone and in combination with those from BICEP2/Keck array and the South Pole Telescope. We model the fields with a gen...

Description
Summary:We present the constraints on the amplitude of magnetic fields generated prior to the recombination using CMB temperature and polarization anisotropy data from Planck 2018 release, alone and in combination with those from BICEP2/Keck array and the South Pole Telescope. We model the fields with a generic parametrization and we make no assumptions on their origin in order to provide general constraints on their characteristics. The analysis updates the former corresponding Planck 2015 results both on data and numerical implementation. We then perform forecasts for the next generation of CMB experiments such as LiteBIRD satellite alone and in combination with future ground based experiments.
