Supersymmetric and smooth hybrid inflation in the light of WMAP3

Abstract: In their minimal form both supersymmetric and smooth hybrid inflation yield a scalar spectral index n s close to 0.98, to be contrasted with the result n s = 0.951 +0.015 −0.019 from WMAP3. To realize better agreement, following Ref.[1], we extend the parameter space of these models by employing a non-minimal Kähler potential. We also discuss non-thermal leptogenesis by inflaton decay and obtain new bounds in these models on the reheat temperature to explain the observed baryon asymmetry.

“…For large tensor modes, we will see that an intermediate-scale soft mass remains important, yet in the present case we will have M 2 S > 0 as in split supersymmetry models [20]. We take a at constant values, which can be achieved via an appropriate choice of initial conditions [13]. The values we consider will be discrete, with the intention of representing the possible sign choices for a.…”

“…The non-minimal Kähler potential plays a crucial role in reducing n s and making it compatible with the WMAP7 data as shown in Refs. [17,18,19]. In SUSY SU(5) shifted hybrid inflation we show that the central value of the scalar spectral index n s ≃ 0.96 can be realized in the presence of a small negative mass term generated from a non-minimal Kähler potential.…”
