    Inflation and reheating predictions of minimally coupled β-exponential potential with an R2 term in the Palatini formulation

    In this work, we focus on the inflationary predictions of β-exponential potential models, where the field delineating the size of extra-dimension is represented as the inflaton. We include an R2 term in the Palatini gravity since it provides a well-motivated starting point for the analysis of physics at very high energies. Furthermore, the inflaton oscillates around the minimum of the inflation potential until the universe is reheated at the end of the inflationary epoch. This occurs during the reheating phase, at which inflaton decays into the Standard Model particles, which filled the universe. Regardingly, we extend our examination by taking into consideration the reheating effects on inflationary observables. Assuming the standard thermal history after inflation, we present the inflationary predictions, ns,r, dns/d ln k of β-exponential potential with minimal coupling in Palatini R2 gravity by considering the reheating cases. We show that this specific kind of model allows one to study a wide range of predictions to have a better analysis for the inflationary era by adjusting the model parameters, α, β, λ. In addition, different kinds of constraints from a variety of observations, such as BICEP/Keck, Planck 2018, the Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO), as well as future possible detectable constraints by CMB-S4 are taken into consideration in this study. We find that our results are in good agreement with the recent data and sensitivity forecast for the future CMB-S4.
