On the possibility of coherently stimulated recombination and cosmological structure generation: recombination
1Department of Chemical Physics, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA.
Abstract:
Possible instabilities during cosmological recombination may produce an epoch of nonlinear density growth and fractal-like structural patterns out to the horizon scale at that epoch (approximately 200 Mpc today). With this motivation, we examine the consequences of the change in effective radiative recombination reaction rate coefficients produced by intense stimulated emission. The proton-electron recombination is considered as a natural laser, leading to the formation of spatially nonuniform distributions of neutral matter earlier than the recombination epoch.
