The Goal: Tests to Distinguish Between

Warm and Supercooled Inflation

Cosmic Microwave Background:

- Generalise CMBFast for Warm Inflation:

- remove conditions specific to supercooled inflation (T/S, account for dissipation term, etc).

- account for super-Hubble suppression scale.

- Include isocurvature modes.

- NonGaussian signatures.

- Simulate MAP & Planck maps.

Optimal tests for temperature and polarization data:

- Primary: tensor-scalar ratio,

- Secondary: include isocurvature.
