J. Adams et al., DISTORTION OF THE ACOUSTIC PEAKS IN THE CMBR DUE TO A PRIMORDIAL MAGNETIC-FIELD, Physics letters. Section B, 388(2), 1996, pp. 253-258
In this paper we study the effect of a magnetic field on the fluctuati
on spectrum of the cosmic microwave background. We find that upcoming
measurements might give interesting bounds on large scale magnetic fie
lds in the early Universe. If the effects are seen, it might be possib
le to establish the presence of different fields in different patches
of the sky. Absence of any effect, will provide by one order of magnit
ude a better limit for a primordial field, now given by nucleosynthesi
s.
