Observational predictions of some inflationary models
This paper presents the CMB angular power spectrum obtained using the \texttt{CAMB} code for three different models of inflation: the Starobinsky inflationary model, the generalized Starobinsky inflationary model, and the chaotic inflationary model with a step. The results are compared with the most recent data reported for the Planck mission. An analysis of the large ($\ell \lesssim 90$), intermediate ($90 \lesssim \ell \lesssim 900$), and small ($\ell \gtrsim 900 $) angular scales is performed. We report the position of the peaks in the intermediate region so as the cosmological parameters obtained in each of the models: age of the universe, $Ω_m$, $Ω_b$, $Ω_Λ$, $Ω_K$ and $n_\sca$. We also perform a Bayesian analysis using the \texttt{Cobaya} code to evaluate our three best-fitting models. Additionally, we generated contour plots $(n_\sca,r)$ for our inflationary models, taking into account the number of e-folds between the end of inflation and the completion of reheating.
