The supplied slow-roll curvature power spectrum simplifies to
At a fixed number of e-folds before the end, multiplying the potential by a constant does not change , or the slow-roll field value. It multiplies by that constant. Thus, for an unchanged subsequent cosmology,
The scalar spectral index, transfer-function shape, turnover and acoustic features are unchanged at this order. Root-mean-square density fluctuations increase by . The comparison uses the same exit e-fold count; a different specified reheating history could shift the detailed mapping between and that count.
