Abstract
Comparisons of cosmological models to current data show that the presence of a non-trivial feature in the primordial power spectrum of fluctuations, around the scale k=0.05 h/Mpc, is an open and exciting possibility, testable in a near future. This could set new constraints on inflationary models. In particular, current data favour a Lambda-CDM model with a steplike spectrum, and more power on small scales. So far, this possibility has been implemented only in toy models of inflation. In this work, we propose a supersymmetric model with two U(1) gauge symmetries, associated with two Fayet-Iliopoulos terms. Partial cancellation of the Fayet-Iliopoulos by one of the charged fields generates a step in the primordial power spectrum of adiabatic perturbations. We show that when this field if charged under both symmetries, the spectrum may have more power on small scales.
