4 Primordial Power Spectrum from Inflation Slow roll inflation [Linde, 1982]: inflation occurred by a scalar field (Inflaton) rolling down a potential energy hill. End of inflation depends on the shape of the inflaton potential V (φ); the spatially variating perturbation of the inflaton field δφ(t, x). Fluctuations in the inflaton modulate the end of inflation: in different regions, inflation ends at different times. δφ(t, x) converted into energy density fluctuations δρ after inflation. small scale dependence of the Primordial Power Spectrum (PPS) of scalar perturbations: (n s 1) d ln P s(k) = 2 V ( ) V 2 d ln k V 3, V more general than P s (k) = A s (k/k ) ns 1. Is n s constant? Can the PPS deviate from a Power-Law (PL)? S. Gariazzo Dark Radiation and Inflationary Freedom TAUP 2015, Torino, 07/09/2015 2

Gariazzo Dark Radiation and Inflationary Freedom TAUP 2015, Torino, 07/09/ Beyond Power-Law PPS: Theory [Sagnotti et al, 2014] [Planck Collaboration, 2015] [Romano et al., 2014] Given an inflationary model one gets one Primordial Power Spectrum (PPS), more or less complicated Much more models were developed: see e.g. [ Encyclopædia Inflationaris, Martin et al., 2014]

8 S. Gariazzo Dark Radiation and Inflationary Freedom TAUP 2015, Torino, 07/09/ PCHIP Parametrization Fix the Primordial Power Spectrum (PPS) form leads to possible bias: analysis with free, non-parametric form for the PPS. [SG et al., JCAP 1504 (2015) 023] Proposal: fix a series of nodes k 1,..., k 12 and use an interpolating function among them, P s(k) = P 0 f (k; P s,1,..., P s,12) with P 0 = , P s,j = P s(k j) In our case we use: PCHIP [Fritsch et al., 1980] piecewise cubic Hermite interpolating polynomial f (k; P s,1,..., P s,12) = PCHIP(k; P s,1,..., P s,12) Advantage over natural cubic splines: no spurious oscillations. f(k) e-06 1e k [Mpc -1 ] PCHIP natural spline nodes Interpolate piecewise a series of nodes P s,j = P s(k j) with j [1, 12]: continue and derivable; preserve monotonicity of the nodes: 1 st derivative in the node fixed using the secants between consequent nodes; if the monotonicity changes, the node is a local extremum; 2 nd derivative not continue in the nodes.

20 S. Gariazzo Dark Radiation and Inflationary Freedom TAUP 2015, Torino, 07/09/ Conclusions Theoretical and experimental reasons to study features in the Primordial Power Spectrum for scalar perturbations: features if inflation cannot be described by the simplest model; observed features in low-l CMB spectrum from Planck, WMAP; only statistical fluctuations or a signals for new physics? Non-standard spectrum from inflation have an impact on extensions of the ΛCDM model! Main degeneracy with N eff : wider range allowed for the thermal axion mass; light sterile neutrino fully compatible with cosmology. update with Planck 2015 data: work in progress! Inflationary freedom can bias also other constraints: e.g. degeneracies with primordial non-gaussianities in future probes, see [SG et al., arxiv: , accepted by PRD].
