Particle Physics Models of Inflation

  • Chapter
Inflationary Cosmology

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Physics ((LNP,volume 738))

Abstract

Inflation models are compared with observation on the assumption that the curvature perturbation is generated from the vacuum fluctuation of the inflaton field. The focus is on single-field models with canonical kinetic terms, classified as small- medium- and large-field according to the variation of the inflaton field while cosmological scales leave the horizon. Small-field models are constructed according to the usual paradigm for beyond Standard Model physics
