Abstract

By using the relations between the slow-roll parameters and the power spectrum for the single field slow-roll inflation, we derive the scalar spectral tilt nsn_s and the tensor to scalar ratio rr for the constant slow-roll inflation and obtain the constraint on the slow-roll parameter η\eta from the Planck 2015 results. The inflationary potential for the constant slow-roll inflation is then reconstructed in the framework of both general relativity and scalar-tensor theory of gravity, and compared with the recently reconstructed E model potential. In the strong coupling limit, we show that the η\eta attractor is reached.
