Atacama Cosmology Telescope, South Pole Telescope, and Chaotic Inflation
Рената Каллош, Andrei Linde, Diederik Roest
Abstract
We show that the simplest generalization of the chaotic inflation model 1/2m^{2}ϕ^{2} with nonminimal coupling to gravity (1+ϕ)R provides a good match to the results of the latest data release of the Atacama Cosmology Telescope and South Pole Telescope, with r≈10^{-2}.
