New bound on the Yukawa coupling from CMB

Abstract

We investigate the one loop inflation stemming from the superstring theory in the braneworld scenario. The tensor to scalar ratio of the loop inflation is found inconsistent with the recent CMB results for the Yukawa coupling from the SM sector. We propose a new bound on the Yukawa coupling, $9.92<\lambda<13.4$, applicable to the cosmological sector from CMB. The aftermath of this new bound is explored. The present results may shed some light on the phenomenology of superstring theory and its associated phenomena.
