Author(s): Latham Boyle, Kendrick M. Smith, Cora Dvorkin, and Neil Turok If observations confirm BICEP2’s claim of a tensor-scalar ratio r ≈ 0.2 on CMB scales, then the inflationary consistency relation n t = − r / 8 predicts a small negative value for the tensor spectral index n t . We show that future CMB polarization experiments should be able to confirm this prediction at seve… [Phys. Rev. D 92, 043504] Published Mon Aug 03, 2015
