Precision predictions for the primordial power spectra from f(R) models of inflation

We study the power spectra of f(R) inflation using a new technique in which the norm-squared of the mode functions is evolved. Our technique results in excellent analytic approximations for how the spectra depend upon the function f(R). Although the spectra are numerically the same in the Jordan and...
