Temperature Power Spectrum Damping of Acoustic Waves • Energy stored in the acoustic waves must go somewhere -> heating of CMB photons -> distortion of the thermal spectrum Exponential Damping 52
Chemical potential from energy injection • Suppose that some energy, ΔE, is injected into the cosmic plasma during the radiation dominated era. • What happens? The thermal spectrum of CMB should be distorted! 53
