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.}, cin = {T}, ddc = {530}, cid = {I:(DE-H253)T-20120731}, pnm = {611 - Fundamental Particles and Forces (POF3-611) / 514 - Theoretical Particle Physics (POF2-514)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF3-611 / G:(DE-HGF)POF2-514}, experiment = {EXP:(DE-MLZ)NOSPEC-20140101}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)29 / PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, eprint = {1412.1814}, howpublished = {arXiv:1412.1814}, archivePrefix = {arXiv}, SLACcitation = {$\%\%CITATION$ = $arXiv:1412.1814;\%\%$}, UT = {WOS:000414180600003}, doi = {10.1088/1475-7516/2017/10/055}, url = {https://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/398152}, }
