# camb.emission_angle¶

This module calculates the corrections to the standard lensed CMB power spectra results due to time delay and emission angle, following arXiv:1706.02673. This can be combined with the result from the postborn module to estimate the leading corrections to the standard lensing B modes.

Corrections to T and E are negligible, and not calculated. The result for BB includes approximately contributions from reionization, but this can optionally be turned off.

camb.emission_angle.get_emission_angle_powers(camb_background, PK, chi_source, lmax=3000, acc=1, lsamp=None)[source]

Get the power spectrum of psi_d, the potential for the emission angle, and its cross with standard lensing. Uses the Limber approximation (and assumes flat universe).

Parameters: camb_background – a CAMB results object, used for calling background functions PK – a matter power spectrum interpolator (from camb.get_matter_power_interpolator) chi_source – comoving radial distance of source in Mpc lmax – maximum ell acc – accuracy parameter lsamp – ell sampling for the result a UnivariateSpline object containing L(L+1) C_L
camb.emission_angle.get_emission_delay_BB(params, kmax=100, lmax=3000, non_linear=True, CMB_unit='muK', raw_cl=False, acc=1, lsamp=None, return_terms=False, include_reionization=True)[source]

Get B modes from emission angle and time delay effects. Uses full-sky result from appendix of arXiv:1706.02673

Parameters: params – model.CAMBparams instance with cosmological parameters etc. kmax – maximum k (in Mpc^{-1} units) lmax – maximum L non_linear – include non-linear corrections CMB_unit – normalization for the result raw_cl – if true return C_L, else L(L+1)C_L/2pi acc – accuracy setting, increase to test stability lsamp – array of L values to compute output at. If not set, set to sampling good for interpolation return_terms – return the three sub-terms separately rather than the total include_reionization – approximately include reionization terms by second scattering surface C_L^{BB}, the L sample values and corresponding rotation power
camb.emission_angle.get_source_cmb_cl(params, CMB_unit='muK')[source]

Get the angular power spectrum of emission angle and time delay sources psi_t, psi_zeta, as well as the perpendicular velocity and E polarization. All are returned with 1 and 2 versions, for recombination and reionization respectively. Note that this function destroys any custom sources currently configured.

Parameters: params – model.CAMBparams instance with cosmological parameters etc. CMB_unit – scale results from dimensionless, use ‘muK’ for muK^2 units dictionary of power spectra, with L(L+1)/2pi factors.
