abstract

The primordial anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background are linearly polarized via Compton-scattering. On the other hand, a primordial degree of circular polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background is not observationally excluded. In this work, we discuss the generation of the circular polarization of CMB via their scattering on the cosmic neutrino background since the epoch of recombination. We show that photon-neutrino interaction can transform plane polarization into circular polarization through processes $\gamma+\nu\rightarrow\gamma+\nu$ and the Stokes-V parameter of CMB has linear dependence on the wavelength and square dependence on the average pressure and shear stress perturbations of cosmic neutrino background and also the maximum value of $C^V$ is estimated in range of a few Nano-Kelvin square.

    Compton scattering off partially polarized electrons can generate B-mode polarization from scalar density perturbations, with an amplitude proportional to the square of the electron polarization asymmetry.
