- Gravitational waves in hybrid quintessential inflationary modelsPublication . Sá, Paulo; Henriques, Alfredo B.; Aldaya, V; Barcelo, C; Jaramillo, JLThe generation of primordial gravitational waves is investigated within the hybrid quintessential inflationary model. Using the method of continuous Bogoliubov coefficients, we calculate the full gravitational-wave energy spectrum. The post-inflationary kination period, characteristic of quintessential inflationary models, leaves a clear signature on the spectrum, namely, a sharp rise of the gravitational-wave spectral energy density Omega(GW) at high frequencies. For appropriate values of the parameters of the model, Omega(GW) can be as high as 10(-12) in the MHz-GHz range of frequencies.
