Abstract

The scalar and vector cosmological perturbations at all length scales of our Universe are studied in the framework of the phantom braneworld model. The model is characterized by the parameter ΩMM3/2m2H0\Omega_M\equiv M^3/2m^2H_0, with MM and mm the 5- and 4-dimensional Planck scales, respectively, and H0H_0 the Hubble parameter today, while ΩM0\Omega_M\rightarrow 0 recovers the ΛCDM\Lambda\rm CDM model. Ignoring the backreaction due to the peculiar velocities and also the bulk cosmological constant, allows the explicit computation of the gravitational potentials, Φ\Phi and Ψ\Psi. They exhibit exponentially decreasing screening behaviour characterized by a screening length which is a function of the quasidensity parameter ΩM \Omega_M.
