Constraining inflationary scalar field models with CMB spectral distortions

The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) demonstrates extreme uniformity, with only small temperature anisotropies of the order of 10^(-5). These anisotropies are believed to originate from primordial density perturbations, caused by quantum fluctuations of scalar fields during the cosmic inflation. In...
