We investigate the observational viability of a class of α-attractors inflationary models in light of the most recent Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and Large-Scale Structure (LSS) data. By considering a double-well potential we perform a slow-roll analysis to study the behavior of this class of models, which is a continuous interpolation between the chaotic inflation for large values of α and the universal attractor, i.e., and for small α, where is the scalar spectral index, r is the tensor-to-scalar ratio, and N is the e-fold number. In order to explore the parameter space of the model, we also perform a MCMC analysis and find (1σ).

具有类似希格斯势的α吸引子膨胀模型的观测约束
根据最新的宇宙微波背景(CMB)和大规模结构(LSS)数据,我们研究了一类α吸引子膨胀模型的观测可行性。通过考虑双井势,我们进行了慢速滚动分析,以研究此类模型的行为,这是在较大的α值的混沌膨胀与通用吸引子之间的连续插值,即 和 对于小α,是标量光谱索引,r是张量与标量之比,N是电子折数。为了探索模型的参数空间,我们还进行了MCMC分析并找到(1σ)。
