Extra Species Loci/Points (ESL/ESP)
Example: D-branes
Locations, often associated with additional symmetries, where additional degrees of freedom (DOF) become light - need to be included in the low energy effective theory.

slStrings stretching between branes
become light and are producedwhen the branes come close to eachother – additional DOF.

Extra Species Loci/Points (ESL/ESP)
Other Examples:
ESL’s are a common feature. Backreaction leads to attractive force towards the ESL.
Consequences:
- Moduli trapping/string Higgs effect (single encounter)- Particle production during inflation and backreaction onto the inflaton(many encounters):
- Trapped Inflation
- Monodromi Inflation

Question
Are there observable consequences of a single grazingESP encounter (D=2 or bigger) outside the observable window?
In 1106.1891 we work in the 4D, low energy effective theory and discuss
- a grazing ESP encounter (two inflatons),- non-Gaussianities produced during such an event (bi- and tri-spectrum),- a model where the ESP encounter provides the dominant contribution
to the power-spectrum,- connection to trapped inflation,- modulated trapping (followup to Langlois, Sorbo 09),- ESLs.

Smooth dependence of N on initial field values – isocurvature modes get transferred to adiabatic ones.

In 1106.1891:
- Analytic expressions for all plots, validity ranges, …
- Higher dimensional field spaces, multiple encounters, relation to trapped inflation.
- Additional signatures from backscattering (Barnaby et.al.)
- Modulated trapping (Langlois, Sorbo)
We can constrain inflaton interactions outsidethe observational window (i.e. 0-50 efolds before the end of inflation).

ConclusionA grazing ESP encounter can provide the dominant contribution to the power-
spectrum, with observationally large NG and additional signatures on smaller scales, if the coupling to the new degrees of freedom is of order one, and the impact parameter is small (~0.001).
Constraining observationally such encounters probes the vicinity of the entire inflationary trajectory, testing for the presence of ESLs in field space. We already know that no single identifiable, strong encounter took place during the observational window, probed on CMB/LSS scales.
Thus, ESPs are rare (a handful of encounters at most during inflation, this talk) or ubiquitous (trapped inflation).
Observable (by Planck) large NG in the CMB are predicted, and gravitational waves are suppressed, if curvature perturbations originate from the encounter.
A smoking gun for a single ESP encounter is a bump in the power-spectrum onsmaller scales (amplitude and NG are predicted, location is free).
