摘要: We present an in-depth discussion of the production gravitational waves from inflationary phase that could have occurred in early Universe, giving derivations for resulting spectrum and energy density. also consider large-scale anisotropy cosmic microwave background radiation coming these waves. Assuming observed quadrupole comes mostly (consistent with predictions a flat scalar density perturbations measured dipole anisotropy) we describe detail how to derive value scale inflation (1,5-5) × 10 16 GeV, which is at particularly interesting particle physics
