Abstract

We derive the reconstruction formulae for the inflation model with the non-minimal derivative coupling term. If reconstructing the potential from the tensor-to-scalar ratio, we could obtain the potential without using the high friction limit. As an example, we reconstruct the potential from the parametrization r=8α/(N+β)γr=8\alpha/(N+\beta)^{\gamma}, which is a general form of the α\alpha-attractor. The reconstructed potential has the same asymptotic behavior as the T- and E-model if we choose γ=2\gamma=2 and α1\alpha\ll1. We also discuss the constraints from the reheating phase preceding the radiation domination by assuming the parameter wrew_{re} of state equation during reheating is a constant. The scale of big-bang nucleosynthesis could put a up limit on nsn_s if wre=2/3w_{re}=2/3 and a low limit on nsn_s if wre=1/6w_{re}=1/6.
