| Summary: | Inflation theory is a theory that provide solutions for problems in cosmology, horizon
problem and flatness problem. Gravitational waves production in inflationary scenario
caused by tensor perturbation is a probe of inflation. The study of observational
signatures of primordial GW provide not only a way to probe the general inflationary
paradigm, but also to discriminate in detail among specific models. In this research, we
use inflation model with minimal, non-minimal, and non-minimal derivative coupling
of scalar field without potential from Horndeski Theory. From this model, we calculate
scalar and tensor perturbation equations and then obtain its equation of gravitational
waves, power spectrum for each perturbation mode and tensor-to-scalar ratio. Spectral
indices and tensor-to-scalar ratio nearly scale-invariant and agree with observational
data for some H0; z , and x . Gravitational waves remain constant during inflation and
start oscillating when its modes re-enter the horizon. Energy of this gravitational waves
predicted to be scale-invariant for modes that re-enter horizon during radiation dominated
era and rises toward lower frequencies. |
