Abstract
Detection of the gravitational waves excited during inflation as quantum-mechanical fluctuations is a key test of inflation and crucial to learning about the specifics of the inflationary model. We discuss the potential of cosmic background radiation anisotropy and polarization and of laser interferometers such as LIGO, VIRGO, and LISA to detect these gravity waves.Keywords
