Key Points

  • The study aims to explore the effects of multi-stage axion monodromy inflation on gravitational wave production.
  • Analyzed the multi-stage model of axion monodromy inflation.
  • Investigated interruptions in the inflation stages.
  • Evaluated the frequency and amplitude of gravitational waves produced.
  • Identified a spike in the gravitational wave background due to an interruption.
  • Predicted that these waves fall within detectable ranges of current terrestrial detectors.
  • Highlighted potential observational prospects for upcoming gravitational wave experiments.

Abstract

We show that in multi-stage axion monodromy inflation an interruption near the end of the penultimate stage can lead to a spike in the gravitational wave background. These gravitational waves are in the frequency range and with an amplitude accessible to proposed terrestrial detectors such as the Einstein Telescope, Cosmic Explorer, and future Levitated Sensor Detector experiments.
