摘要:	Recently, BICEP2 measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) B -mode polarization at degree angular scales has indicated the presence of tensor modes with a high tensor-to-scalar ratio of r = 0.2 when assuming nearly scale-invariant tensor and scalar spectra, although the signal may be contaminated by dust emission, as implied by recent Planck polarization data. This result is in conflict with the Planck best-fit lambda cold dark model with r < 0.11 . Because the inflaton has to interact with other fields to convert its potential energy into radiation to reheat the Universe, the interacting inflaton may result in a suppression of the scalar spectrum at large scales. This suppression has been used to explain the observed low quadrupole in the CMB anisotropy. In this paper, we show that a combination of the tensor modes measured by BICEP2 and the large-scale suppressed scalar modes contributes to the CMB anisotropy in such a way that the resultant CMB anisotropy and polarization power spectra are consistent with both Planck and BICEP2 data. We also project our findings to cases in which r may become reduced in future CMB polarization measurements.
