Inflationary physics from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe
Inflationary physics from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe
We extract parameters relevant for distinguishing among single-field inflation models from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) data set, and from a combination of the WMAP data and seven other cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments. We use only CMB data and perform a likelihood analysis over a grid of models, …
