- Abstract
- Recent satellite observations have revealed significant anisotropy in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation, a phenomenon that had previously been detected but received limited attention due to its subtlety. With the advent of more precise measurements from satellites, the extent of this anisotropy has become increasingly apparent. This paper examines the CMB radiation by reviewing past research on the causes of CMB anisotropy and presents a new model (Modified-Lambda CDM) to explain the observed temperature anisotropy and the anisotropy in the correlation function between temperature and E-mode polarization in the CMB radiation. The proposed model is based on a modified-generalized Compton scattering approach incorporating Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG). We begin by describing the generalized Compton scattering and then discuss the CMB radiation in the context of processes occurring at the last scattering surface. Our findings are derived from the latest observational data from the Planck satellite (2018) and recent Dark Energy Survey Instrument (DESI) baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO). In our model, besides the parameters available in the Planck data for the standard model (Lambda CDM), we introduce two novel parameters: delta(L), the density of cosmic electrons, and M-2, a parameter related to the modified-generalized Compton scattering effects. Utilizing Planck 2018 data (TTTEEE+lowE+lowT+lensing), the Modified-Lambda CDM model estimates the best-fit values of delta(L)=0.161x10(-9) and M-2=0.006. A combined analysis incorporating Planck 2018, PantheonPlus sample and DESI BAO datasets yields delta(L)=0.184x10-9 and M2=0.023, demonstrating consistency between these datasets and first analyze using CMB. Increasing the values of delta(L) and M-2 amplifies temperature anisotropy power spectrum fluctuations and temperature-E-mode correlation for multipoles 100
