Abstract

We study the curvature perturbation in the presence of a curvaton with a double well potential and give analytical expressions for the solution of field equation and a nonlinear parameters fNL with emphasizing the differences from the simple quadratic potential. We show that the level of non-Gaussianity and the tensor-to-scalar ratio depends crucially on the reheating temperature as well as the curvaton self coupling constant for a given initial amplitude of the curvaton.
