BB mode spectrum of CMB and Inflation

Abstract

Quantum effect on the BB-mode correlation spectrum of Cosmic Microwave Background for several inflation models is studied with the BICEP2/Keck Array and Planck joint data. The results do not rule out either single or multi field models of slow-roll inflation. The quantum effect is found more prominent for the inflation models with larger values of tensor-to-scalar ratio and smaller values of tensor spectral index.
