Abstract

We propose a new formulation to calculate the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) spectrum in the Randall Sundrum two-branes model based on recent progresses in solving the bulk geometry using a low energy approximation. The evolution of the anisotropic stress imprinted on the brane by the 5D Weyl tensor is calculated. An impact of the dark radiation perturbation on CMB spectrum is investigated in a simple model assuming an initially scale-invariant adiabatic perturbations. The dark radiation perturbation induces isocurvature perturbations, but the resultant spectrum can be quite different from the prediction of simple mixtures of adiabatic and isocurvature perturbations due to Weyl anisotropic stress.
