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…
Non-canonical generalizations of slow-roll inflation models
Konstantinos Tzirakis, William H. Kinney
We consider non-canonical generalizations of two classes of simple single-field inflation models. First, we study the non-canonical version of "ultra-slow roll" inflation, which is…
Latest inflation model constraints from cosmic microwave background measurements
William H. Kinney, Edward W. Kolb, Alessandro Melchiorri +1
In this addendum to Phys.Rev. D74 (2006) 023502, we present an update of cosmological constraints on single-field inflation in light of the Wilkinson Microwave Ansiotropy Probe sat…
The Phantom Bounce: A New Proposal for an Oscillating Cosmology
Katherine Freese, Matthew G. Brown, William H. Kinney
An oscillating universe cycles through a series of expansions and contractions. We propose a model in which ``phantom'' energy with a supernegative pressure () grows rapid…
Natural Inflation: the status after WMAP 3-year data
Katherine Freese, William H. Kinney, Christopher Savage
The model of Natural Inflation is examined in light of recent 3-year data from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe and shown to provide a good fit. The inflaton potential is n…
