Abstract

We investigate the constraining power of future CMB and galaxy surveys on models of quintessential inflation realized within the framework of α\alpha-attractors. We analyze how these future datasets will probe the parameter space of α\alpha-attractor quintessential inflation, specifically the inflationary potential parameters. Our results demonstrate that the synergy between CMB-S4, LiteBIRD, and Euclid can significantly tighten the bounds on the model parameters, achieving forecasted 1σ1\sigma uncertainties of α=2±0.17\alpha=2\pm 0.17, ns=0.965±0.0014n_s=0.965\pm 0.0014, ln(1010As)=3.0447±0.0029\ln(10^{10}A_s)=3.0447\pm 0.0029 for the CMB+GCsp_{sp} case. This level of sensitivity will enable us to discriminate between different realizations of quintessential inflation and test the attractor behavior characteristic of these models.
