摘要:

我们研究了由一类势驱动的暴胀情景,这些势在形式上类似于标准模型的某些最小超对称扩展中出现的势。我们发现,这些潜力允许一个短暂的时间从通货膨胀夹在两个阶段的缓慢滚动的通货膨胀。我们表明,这样的背景行为导致标量功率谱中的一个台阶状的功能。我们设定了尺度,使得功率谱的下降发生在与今天的哈勃半径相对应的长度尺度上--这一特征似乎是解释在宇宙微波背景(CMB)各向异性的四极矩中观察到的较低功率所必需的。我们进行马尔可夫链蒙特卡罗分析,以确定的模型参数,提供最佳的拟合最近的WMAP 5年的数据的CMB角功率谱的值。我们发现,在大尺度下,我们获得的抑制功率的暴胀光谱导致更好地拟合(只有一个额外的参数,$χ_{\rm eff}^{2}$提高了6.62)的观测数据相比,最佳拟合参考$Λ$ CDM模型与无特征,幂律,原始谱。

英文摘要:

We investigate inflationary scenarios driven by a class of potentials which are similar in form to those that arise in certain minimal supersymmetric extensions of the standard model. We find that these potentials allow a brief period of departure from inflation sandwiched between two stages of slow roll inflation. We show that such a background behavior leads to a step like feature in the scalar power spectrum. We set the scales such that the drop in the power spectrum occurs at a length scale that corresponds to the Hubble radius today--a feature that seems necessary to explain the lower power observed in the quadrupole moment of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropies. We perform a Markov Chain Monte Carlo analysis to determine the values of the model parameters that provide the best fit to the recent WMAP 5-year data for the CMB angular power spectrum. We find that an inflationary spectrum with a suppression of power at large scales that we obtain leads to a much better fit (with just one extra parameter, $χ_{\rm eff}^{2}$ improves by 6.62) of the observed data when compared to the best fit reference $Λ$CDM model with a featureless, power law, primordial spectrum.
