摘要
We study the level of primordial non-Gaussianity in slow-roll two-field inflation. Using an analytic formula for the non-linear parameter f(NL) in the case of a sum or product separable potential, we find that it is possible to generate significant non-Gaussianity even during slow-roll inflation with Gaussian perturbations at Hubble exit. In this paper we give the general conditions for obtaining large non-Gaussianity and calculate the level of fine-tuning required to obtain this. We present explicit models in which the non-Gaussianity at the end of inflation can exceed the current observational bound of vertical bar f(NL)vertical bar less than or similar to 100.
