Abstract

We propose a one-parametric extension of the Starobinsky R+R2R+R^2 model by adding the (R+m2β2)3/2(R+m^2\beta^2)^{3/2} term. The parameter mm is the inflaton mass, which is determined in the same way as in the Starobinsky model, and β\beta is a dimensionless constant. Using the Einstein frame and the scalar field potential, we get the inflationary parameters of the model proposed. The value of the tensor-to-scalar ratio rr can be significantly larger than in the Starobinsky model. The considered inflationary model is in a good agreement with the current observational data. The corresponding scalar field potential is a polynomial of the exponential function.
