abstract = {We study the pattern of oscillations in the primordial
power spectrum in axion monodromy inflation, accounting for
drifts in the oscillation period that can be important for
comparing to cosmological data. In these models the
potential energy has a monomial form over a super-Planckian
field range, with superimposed modulations whose size is
model-dependent. The amplitude and frequency of the
modulations are set by the expectation values of moduli
fields. We show that during the course of inflation, the
diminishing energy density can induce slow adjustments of
the moduli, changing the modulations. We provide templates
capturing the effects of drifting moduli, as well as drifts
arising in effective field theory models based on softly
broken discrete shift symmetries, and we estimate the
precision required to detect a drifting period. A
non-drifting template suffices over a wide range of
parameters, but for the highest frequencies of interest, or
for sufficiently strong drift, it is necessary to include
parameters characterizing the change in frequency over the
e-folds visible in the CMB. We use these templates to
perform a preliminary search for drifting oscillations in a
part of the parameter space in the Planck nominal mission
data.},
