34 Highlights of BNI+fastroll Prologue The probability distribution for r: BNI r > (95% CL) r BNI+fastroll r > (95% CL) r MCMC analysis = k 1 is the crossover wavenumber: its wavelength scale exits the horizon when fast-roll ends and slow-roll starts
35 Outline 1 Prologue Observational data and models On cosmic variance On the CMB quadrupole (small) value 2 EFT of inflation Early fast-roll and primordial fluctuations The transfer function D(k) 3
36 Relevant wavelength scales (using WMAP3 + small scale exps. + SDSS) The quadrupole wavenumber today k Q η 0 = 2, η 0 = 3.3 H 0, k Q = (Gpc) 1, log(a Q ) = The fast/slow crossover wavenumber: ǫ v = 1/N k 1 = (Gpc) 1, log(a 1 ) = 1.107, log(a crossover ) = The pivot scale (WMAP) k 0 = 2 (Gpc) 1, log(a 0 ) = The pivot scale (CosmoMC default) k 0 = 50 (Gpc) 1, log(a 0 ) = 6.363
37 Computing the total number of e-folds (using best fit with WMAP3, y=1.32) The quadrupole wavenumber at the beginning of inflation k Q = k 1 = 7.63 m GeV = (Gpc) 1 The total expansion since beginning of inflation 1 + z b = e 129 = e Ntot /a r The Hubble parameter just after reheating, H r a r M PL /H r, H r = e 2[56 N] GeV The bounds on N H r GeV, H r > 1 MeV (BBN) = 56 < N < 76
38 Most likely the quadrupole depression has a nontrivial cosmological origin Early fast-roll inflation is generic and provides a quadrupole depression BNI fits well the CMB+LSS data and provides lower bounds for r BNI+fastroll improves the fit w.r.t. ΛCDM+r and also w.r.t. BNI+sharpcut Fast-roll provides good bounds on N Outlook Improve the theory (expecially concerning reheating) Wait for better data (Plank and new gound exps.) Refine, refine, refine
