The Effect of Features on the Functional Form of the Scalar Power Spectrum

26 Sep 2016 · Brooker D. J. Florida, Tsamis N. C. Crete, Woodard R. P. Florida ·

We study how the scalar power spectrum of single-scalar inflation depends functionally on models with features which have been proposed to explain anomalies in the data. We exploit a new formalism based on evolving the norm-squared of the scalar mode functions, rather than the mode functions themselves.
