 Posted: March 28 2017 Hi everyone, I just have one simple question question, I want to calculate the temperature anisotropies as a function of wave number i.e. ΔT(k) / T using the list of transfer functions output from the camb code. I just want to use my own initial power spectrum Pζ(k) of initial perturbations(comoving curvature perturbations) to calculate $\langle \Delta T^2(k)/T^2 \rangle = \Delta_i^2(k) P_\zeta(k)$. Where Δi(k) would be some combination of transfer functions of the camb code. So, what precise combinations of transfer functions do I need here as Δi's? Thanks in Advance!! M Junaid

 Posted: March 28 2017 Are you sure you don't want to calculate the C power spectrum? That's easily done by modifying CAMB's power_tilt.f90 to use your own initial power spectrum (and increasing accuracy settings if needed).

 Posted: March 28 2017 No we are working out some moments in momentum space so we don't need Cl or any angular part.

 Posted: March 30 2017 My hunch is that the temperature anisotropy is to leading order equal to $\Delta T/T \approx \frac{1}{4} \hat{\Delta}_\gamma+ 2\Phi$, where Φ is Weyl potential. While, you have said in your notes that power spectrum of Weyl potential is PΦ = TΦ(k)Pζ(k) where ζ is primordial perturbations. Is the same true for other power spectra as $\Delta_\gamma^2 = \hat{\Delta}_\gamma^2 P_\zeta(k)$. So the transfer function output from the camb code are $\hat{\Delta}_\gamma^2$ that don't include the primordial power spectrum Pζ(k). Please correct me if I am wrong! M.

 Posted: March 30 2017 Transfer function outputs are not squared (and indeed not scaled by the primordial power). The temperature sources are quite complicated in general (calculated in output routine of equations.f90).
