摘要
We propose a hybrid inflation scenario in which the singlet sneutrino, the superpartner of the right-handed neutrino, plays the role of the inflaton. We study a minimal model of sneutrino hybrid inflation in supergravity, where we find a spectral index n(s)approximate to 1+2 gamma with vertical bar gamma vertical bar less than or similar to 0.02, and predict a running spectral index vertical bar dn(s)/dlnk vertical bar <<vertical bar gamma vertical bar and a tensor-to-scalar ratio r <gamma(2) for field values well below the Planck scale. In our scenario, the baryon asymmetry of our universe can be explained via nonthermal leptogenesis and a low reheat temperature T(RH)approximate to 10(6) GeV can be realized.
