摘要

The magnitude of B-mode polarization in the cosmic microwave background as measured by BICEP2 favours models of chaotic inflation with a quadratic m(2)phi(2)/2 potential, whereas data from the Planck satellite favour a small value of the tensor-to-scalar perturbation ratio r that is highly consistent with the Starobinsky R + R-2 model. Reality may lie somewhere between these two scenarios. In this paper we propose a minimal two-field noscale supergravity model that interpolates between quadratic and Starobinsky-like inflation as limiting cases, while retaining the successful prediction n(s) similar or equal to 0.96.
