Evidence for Gravitational Lensing of the Cosmic Microwave Background Polarization from Cross-Correlation with the Cosmic Infrared Background

Abstract: We reconstruct the gravitational lensing convergence signal from cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization data taken by the Polarbear experiment and cross-correlate it with cosmic infrared background maps from the Herschel satellite. From the cross spectra, we obtain evidence for gravitational lensing of the CMB polarization at a statistical significance of 4.0σ and indication of the presence of a lensing B-mode signal at a significance of 2.3σ. We demonstrate that our results are not biased by instrumen… Show more

“…(4.78) because of the orthogonality of the spherical harmonics Y lm (k). 11 As also mentioned in Ref. [25], the bispectrum from products of the first-order perturbations can be written in a form similar to the standard formula for the local-type bispectrum, where the integration over the Fourier modes are split into one-dimensional integrations [45].…”

“…The signal-to-noise ratio for lensing reconstruction from CMB polarization data is expected to be much better in the future, because polarization lensing is not limited by cosmic variance, with B modes on small scales expected to be vanishingly small on the unlensed sky. First examples of CMB lensing reconstruction from polarization data use SPT or POLARBEAR data in cross-correlation or autocorrelation [14][15][16], based on CMB polarization observations on small patches of the sky at high resolution.…”

“…A recent highlight of this approach is constraining the high-redshift star formation rate from correlations between CMB lensing and clustering of the cosmic infrared background (CIB) [80][81][82][83][84] -the unresolved flux from dusty, star-forming galaxies. In contrast to the CIB spectra across frequencies, the cross-correlation with lensing is insensitive to residual Galactic dust emission in the CIB maps, and does not require separation of the shot noise that arises from Poisson fluctuations in the number density of the galaxies that contribute to the CIB.…”
