Non-Gaussianity from Particle Production during Inflation

Figure 12

(a) shows a sample multiple-bump distortion with amplitude 𝐴 I R = 1 × 1 0 9 which corresponds to 𝑔 2 0 . 0 2 . The feature spacing is Δ = 0 . 7 5 . We take the vanilla parameters to be 𝐴 𝑠 = 1 . 0 4 × 1 0 9 , 𝑛 𝑠 = 0 . 9 3 so that the scale of inflation is slightly lower than in the standard scenario and the spectral tilt is slightly redder. (b) shows the CMB angular TT power spectrum for this example.
