At horizon exit , , where is the Hubble slow-roll parameter. To leading slow-roll order,The slow-roll curvature power spectrum is proportional to . Therefore the scalar spectral index in potential slow-roll parameters isUsing the potential slow-roll parameter and the second potential slow-roll parameter givesThe neglected horizon-exit derivative correction contributes at higher slow-roll order.
