CMBPol Mission Concept Study: Probing Inflation with CMB Polarization
Daniel Baumann, Mark G. Jackson, Peter Adshead +56
We summarize the utility of precise cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization measurements as probes of the physics of inflation. We focus on the prospects for using CMB measu…
Generation and Characterization of Large Non-Gaussianities in Single Field Inflation
Xingang Chen, Richard Easther, Eugene A. Lim
Inflation driven by a single, minimally coupled, slowly rolling field generically yields a negligible primordial non-Gaussianity. We discuss two distinct mechanisms by which a non-…
Thermal Inflation and the Gravitational Wave Background
Richard Easther, John T. Giblin, Eugene A. Lim +2
We consider the impact of thermal inflation -- a short, secondary period of inflation that can arise in supersymmetric scenarios -- on the stochastic gravitational wave background.…
