Initial Conditions for Smooth Hybrid Inflation

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

We perform a numerical investigation of the field evolution in the smooth hybrid inflationary model. We find that for almost all the examined initial values we do get an adequate amount of inflation. Our results show that the model is ''natural'' and satisfactory.
