Will Kinney: Current status of cosmological inflation
Posted: Sat 24 Jan 2015 16:08VIA lecture by Will Kinney: "Current status of cosmological inflation" was given on 23.01.2015.
Its record is in VIA library
http://viavca.in2p3.fr/william_kinney.html
and the presentation is available.
During the lecture and after it the following questions were put:
Shantanu: Can I ask a question based on previous 2 slides. Do basic models of inflation correctly predict delta/T observed in CMB of order 10^-5?
Shantanu: probably you mentioned this earlier but can you remind me which Planck measurements were used for this plot?
Shantanu: each of these inflaton model has a different inflation potential?
Shantanu: Are you worried about the criticisms of inflation by Steinhardt (and also others) ? And a follow up is whether you have any favourites among proposed alternatives to inflation.
Alex Dias: Can you say something more about extra neutrinos? What are the influence of those neutrinos?
Shantanu: Is there a robust lower limit on r from any generic model of inflation?
