The measurement of $\\alpha$ with $O(10^{-3})$ and the improvement in the measurement of $n_s$ could discriminate monomial model from natural/hilltop inflation models. A consistency region for general large field models is also presented.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2014-08-11T01:02:26.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "large field inflation", "consistency relations", "general large field models", "scalar spectral index", "discriminate monomial model" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1093/ptep/ptu123", "journal": "Progress of Theoretical and Experimental Physics", "year": 2014, "month": "Sep", "volume": 2014, "number": 9 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1302788, "adsabs": "2014PTEP.2014i3E01C" } } }
