Slow-roll reconstruction for running spectral index

Astrophysics 2008-11-26 v2 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology High Energy Physics - Theory

Abstract

We not only reconstruct the slow-roll parameters for fit to the running spectral index from WMAP three-year data in the usual slow-roll inflation model and noncommutative inflation model, but also investigate the evolution of these slow-roll parameters. Requiring slow-roll inflation lasts more than 20 e-folds after CMB scales leave the horizon suggests that the potential at the last stage of inflation takes the form V(ϕ)=V0(1+ηc2(ϕϕc)2Mp2)V(\phi)=V_0(1+{\eta_c\over 2}{(\phi-\phi_c)^2\over M_p^2}), where ηc\eta_c is a constant. A natural mechanism to end inflation at ϕ=ϕc\phi=\phi_c is hybrid type inflation.
