Samuel M. Leach coauthored work connecting observable primordial perturbations to their production during cosmic inflation. The calculation asks how much expansion occurred between the generation of a mode and the end of inflation, accounting for the later cosmic history.[ref]
The connection matters when comparing an inflationary potential with measured spectra: reheating and the intervening expansion history affect which part of a model trajectory corresponds to an observed scale.
