Gravitational Waves and Gravitino Mass in No-Scale Supergravity Inflation with Polonyi Term

We study a No-Scale supergravity inflation model which has a non-minimal deformation of the Kähler potential and a Wess-Zumino superpotential extended by the inclusion of a Polonyi mass term. The non-minimal structure of the Kähler potential is responsible for an inflexion point that can lead to the production of gravitational waves at late stages of inflation, while the Polonyi term breaks supersymmetry at the end of inflation, generating a non-vanishing gravitino mass. After a thorough parameter space scan, we identify promising points for gravitational wave production. We then study the resulting gravitational wave energy density for this set of points, and we observe that the gravitational waves should be observable in the next generation of both space-based and ground-based interferometers. Finally, we show how the presence of the Polonyi term can be used to further boost the gravitational wave energy density, which is correlated with the gravitino mass.
