1211.3535 (Keisuke Harigaya et al.)

Non-Gaussianity from Attractor Curvaton    [PDF]

Keisuke Harigaya, Masahiro Ibe, Masahiro Kawasaki, Tsutomu T. Yanagida
We propose a curvaton model in which the initial condition of the curvaton oscillation is determined by its attractor behavior during inflation. Assuming a chaotic inflation model, we find that the initial condition determined by the attractor behavior is appropriate to generate a sizable non-Gaussianity contribution to the curvature perturbation, which will be tested in the foreseeable future. Implications on the thermal history of the universe and on particle physics models are also discussed.
