Inflation is driven by a Kaehler modulus whose potential arises from the aforementioned corrections, while we use the inclusion of string loop effects just to ensure the existence of a graceful exit when necessary. The effective inflaton potential takes a Starobinsky-type form $V=V_0(1-e^{-\nu\phi})^2$, where we obtain one set-up with $\nu=-1/\sqrt{3}$ and one with $\nu=2/\sqrt{3}$ corresponding to inflation occurring for increasing or decreasing $\phi$ respectively. The inflationary observables are thus in perfect agreement with PLANCK, while the two scenarios remain observationally distinguishable via slightly varying predictions for the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$. Both set-ups yield $r\simeq (2\ldots 7)\,\times 10^{-3}$. They hence realise inflation with moderately large fields $\left(\Delta\phi\sim 6\thinspace M_{Pl}\right)$ without saturating the Lyth bound. Control over higher corrections relies in part on tuning underlying microscopic parameters, and in part on intrinsic suppressions. The intrinsic part of control arises as a leftover from an approximate effective shift symmetry at parametrically large volume. 000275279 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-611$$a611 - Fundamental Particles and Forces (POF3-611)$$cPOF3-611$$fPOF III$$x0 000275279 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)2015_IFV-HZ-NG-603$$aHZ-NG-603 - Strings and Cosmology - an Interface for Testing fundamental Theories (2015_IFV-HZ-NG-603)$$c2015_IFV-HZ-NG-603$$x1 000275279 536__ $$0G:(EU-Grant)320421$$aSPLE - String Phenomenology in the LHC Era (320421)$$c320421$$fERC-2012-ADG_20120216$$x2 000275279 588__ $$aDataset connected to arXivarXiv 000275279 693__ $$0EXP:(DE-MLZ)NOSPEC-20140101$$5EXP:(DE-MLZ)NOSPEC-20140101$$eNo specific instrument$$x0 000275279 7001_ $$0P:(DE-H253)PIP1017434$$aCiupke, David$$b1$$udesy 000275279 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aPedro, Francisco G.$$b2 000275279 7001_ $$0P:(DE-H253)PIP1013212$$aWestphal, Alexander$$b3$$udesy 000275279 8564_ $$uhttp://arxiv.org/abs/1509.00024 000275279 8564_ $$uhttps://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/275279/files/1509.00024.pdf$$yOpenAccess 000275279 8564_ $$uhttps://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/275279/files/1509.00024.gif?subformat=icon$$xicon$$yOpenAccess 000275279 8564_ $$uhttps://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/275279/files/1509.00024.jpg?subformat=icon-1440$$xicon-1440$$yOpenAccess 000275279 8564_ $$uhttps://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/275279/files/1509.00024.jpg?subformat=icon-180$$xicon-180$$yOpenAccess 000275279 8564_ $$uhttps://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/275279/files/1509.00024.jpg?subformat=icon-640$$xicon-640$$yOpenAccess 000275279 8564_ $$uhttps://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/275279/files/1509.00024.pdf?subformat=pdfa$$xpdfa$$yOpenAccess 000275279 909CO $$ooai:bib-pubdb1.desy.de:275279$$pdnbdelivery$$pec_fundedresources$$pVDB$$pdriver$$popen_access$$popenaire 000275279 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)2008985-5$$6P:(DE-H253)PIP1018435$$aDeutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron$$b0$$kDESY 000275279 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)2008985-5$$6P:(DE-H253)PIP1017434$$aDeutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron$$b1$$kDESY 000275279 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)2008985-5$$6P:(DE-H253)PIP1013212$$aDeutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron$$b3$$kDESY 000275279 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-611$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF3-610$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF3-600$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF3$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bForschungsbereich Materie$$lMaterie und Universum$$vFundamental Particles and Forces$$x0 000275279 9141_ $$y2015 000275279 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0510$$2StatID$$aOpenAccess 000275279 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0580$$2StatID$$aPublished 000275279 9201_ $$0I:(DE-H253)T-20120731$$kT$$lTheorie-Gruppe$$x0 000275279 980__ $$apreprint 000275279 980__ $$aVDB 000275279 980__ $$areport 000275279 980__ $$aI:(DE-H253)T-20120731 000275279 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 000275279 9801_ $$aUNRESTRICTED 000275279 9801_ $$aFullTexts
