Abstract

In this work, we show the effect of the non-minimal coupling ii;.2R on the inflation-ary parameters by considering the single-field inflation and present the inflationary predictions of the appealing potential for the particle physics viewpoint: Natural Inflation, an axion-like inflaton which has a cosine-type periodic potential and the inflaton naturally emerges as a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson with a spontaneously broken global symmetry. We present the inflationary predictions for this potential, ns, r, and alpha = dns/d ln k. In addition, we assume standard thermal history after inflation, and using this, for considered potential, we show compatible regions for the ns, r within the recent BICEP/Keck results.
