Abstract

We show that Supersymmetric models with Type I seesaw neutrino masses support slow roll inflection point inflation. The inflaton is the D-flat direction labelled by the chiral invariant HLN composed of the Higgs(H), slepton(L) and conjugate sneutrino(N) superfields. The scale of inflation and fine tuning is set by the conjugate neutrino Majorana mass M{sub {nu}{sup c}}{approx} 10{sup 6} - 10{sup 12} GeV. The cubic term in the (quartic) inflaton potential is dominantly from superpotential (not soft Susy breaking) couplings. The tuning conditions are thus insensitive to soft supersymmetry breaking parameters and are generically much less stringent than for previous 'A-term' inflation scenarios controlled by mass scales {approx}TeV. WMAP limits on the ratio of tensor to scalar perturbations limit the scale M controlling inflection point inflation: M < 7.9 Multiplication-Sign 10{sup 13} GeV. 'Instant preheating' is operative and dumps the inflaton energy into MSSM modes giving a high reheat temperature: T{sub rh} Almost-Equal-To M{sub {nu}{sup c(3/4)}}10{sup 6} GeV {approx} 10{sup 11} - 10{sup 15} GeV. A large gravitino mass > 50 TeV is therefore required to avoid over closure by reheat produced gravitinos. 'Instant preheating' and NLH inflaton facilitate production of right handed neutrinos during inflaton decay and thus non-thermal leptogenesismore »« less

Reheating in supersymmetric high scale inflation

Journal Article Allahverdi, Rouzbeh ; Department of Physics and Astronomy, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, L8S 4M1 ; Mazumdar, Anupam - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

Motivated by our earlier work, we analyze how the inflaton decay reheats the Universe within supersymmetry. In a nonsupersymmetric case the inflaton usually decays via preheating unless its couplings to other fields are very small. Naively one would expect that supersymmetry enhances bosonic preheating as it introduces new scalars such as squarks and sleptons. On the contrary, we point out that preheating is unlikely within supersymmetry. The reason is that flat directions in the scalar potential, classified by gauge-invariant combinations of slepton and squark fields, are generically displaced towards a large vacuum expectation value (VEV) in the early Universe.

Linking Starobinsky-type inflation in no-scale supergravity to MSSM

Journal Article Pallis, C., E-mail: kpallis@auth.gr - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

A novel realization of the Starobinsky inflationary model within a moderate extension of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) is presented. The proposed superpotential is uniquely determined by applying a continuous R and a Z{sub 2} discrete symmetry, whereas the Kähler potential is associated with a no-scale-type SU(54,1)/SU(54) × U(1){sub R} × Z{sub 2} Kähler manifold. The inflaton is identified with a Higgs-like modulus whose the vacuum expectation value controls the gravitational strength. Thanks to a strong enough coupling (with a parameter c{sub T} involved) between the inflaton and the Ricci scalar curvature, inflation can be attained even for subplanckianmore »« less

Consistent cosmology with Higgs thermal inflation in a minimal extension of the MSSM

Journal Article Hindmarsh, Mark ; Jones, D.R. Timothy, - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

We consider a class of supersymmetric inflation models, in which minimal gauged F-term hybrid inflation is coupled renormalisably to the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM), with no extra ingredients; we call this class the ''minimal hybrid inflationary supersymmetric standard model'' (MHISSM). The singlet inflaton couples to the Higgs as well as the waterfall fields, supplying the Higgs μ-term. We show how such models can exit inflation to a vacuum characterised by large Higgs vevs, whose vacuum energy is controlled by supersymmetry-breaking. The true ground state is reached after an intervening period of thermal inflation along the Higgs flat direction, whichmore »« less

Leptogenesis as the source of gravitino dark matter and density perturbations

Journal Article Allahverdi, Rouzbeh ; Drees, Manuel - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We investigate the possibility that the entropy producing decay of a right-handed sneutrino condensate can simultaneously be the source of the baryon asymmetry, of gravitino dark matter, and of cosmological density perturbations. For generic values of soft supersymmetry breaking terms in the visible sector of 1-10 TeV, condensate decay can yield the dark matter abundance for gravitinos in the mass range 1 MeV to 1 TeV, provided that the resulting reheat temperature is below 10{sup 6} GeV. The abundance of thermally produced gravitinos before and after sneutrino decay is then negligible. We consider different leptogenesis mechanisms to generate a sufficientmore »« less

Non-minimal sneutrino inflation, Peccei-Quinn phase transition and non-thermal leptogenesis

Journal Article Pallis, C. ; Toumbas, N., E-mail: kpallis@auth.gr, E-mail: nick@ucy.ac.cy - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

We consider a phenomenological extension of the minimal supersymmetric standard model which incorporates non-minimal chaotic inflation, driven by a quartic potential associated with the lightest right-handed sneutrino. Inflation is followed by a Peccei-Quinn phase transition based on renormalizable superpotential terms, which resolves the strong CP and μ problems of the minimal supersymmetric standard model provided that one related parameter of the superpotential is somewhat small. Baryogenesis occurs via non-thermal leptogenesis, which is realized by the inflaton decay. Confronting our scenario with the current observational data on the inflationary observables, the baryon assymetry of the universe, the gravitino limit on themore »« less
