简介: |
The precision cosmic microwave background (CMB) measurement and a
hint of neutral hydrogen 21cm line observation tell us a lot about the
CMB propagation during the dark and reionization eras of the Universe.
Beside a significant boost towards precision cosmology, this newly
acquired understanding of the CMB signals can be turned into a
powerful test of potential imprints on to the standard
astrophysical/cosmic history from beyond the Standard Model physics:
injection of the energy from the annihilation, decays or radiation
from dark matter or black holes. Upcoming CMB polarization experiments
and 21cm measurements on the cosmic ionization history will bring the
prospective sensitivity to such new physics processes to a whole new level.
