Abstract

In this paper we will analyze generic predictions of an inflection-point model of inflation with Hubble-induced corrections and study them in light of the Planck data. Typically inflection-point models of inflation can be embedded within Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) where inflation can occur below the Planck scale. The flexibility of the potential allows us to match the observed amplitude of the TT-power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background radiation with low and high multipoles, spectral tilt, and virtually mild running of the spectral tilt, which can put a bound on an upper limit on the tensor-to-scalar ratio, r ≤ 0.12. Since the inflaton within MSSM carries the Standard Model charges, therefore it is the minimal model of inflation beyond the Standard Model which can reheat the universe with the right thermal degrees of freedom without any dark-radiation.

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

Probing the parameter space for an MSSM inflation and the neutralino dark matter

Journal Article Allahverdi, Rouzbeh ; Dutta, Bhaskar ; Mazumdar, Anupam - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

The flat directions LLe and udd within the minimal supersymmetric standard model provide all the necessary ingredients for a successful inflation with the right amplitude of the scalar density perturbations, negligible gravity waves and the spectral tilt within 2{sigma} observed range 0.92{<=}n{sub s}{<=}1.0. In this paper we explore the available parameter space for inflation in conjunction with a thermal cold dark matter abundance within the minimal supergravity model. Remarkably for the inflaton, which is a combination of squarks and sleptons, there is a stau-neutralino coannihilation region below the inflaton mass 500 GeV for the observed density perturbations and the tiltmore »« less

MSSM inflation, dark matter, and the LHC

Journal Article Allahverdi, Rouzbeh ; Dutta, Bhaskar ; Santoso, Yudi - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

Inflation can occur near a point of inflection in the potential of flat directions of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). In this paper we elaborate on the complementarity between the bounds from cosmic microwave background measurements, dark matter, and particle physics phenomenology in determining the underlying parameters of MSSM inflation by specializing to the minimal supergravity scenario. We show that the future measurements from the Large Hadron Collider in tandem with all these constraints will significantly restrict the allowed parameter space. We also suggest a new perspective on the fine tuning issue of MSSM inflation. With quantum corrections takenmore »« less

Visible sector inflation and the right thermal history in light of Planck data

Journal Article Wang, Lingfei ; Pukartas, Ernestas ; Mazumdar, Anupam - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

Inflation creates perturbations for the large scale structures in the universe, but it also dilutes everything. Therefore it is pertinent that the end of inflation must explain how to excite the Standard Model dof along with the dark matter. In this paper we will briefly discuss the role of visible sector inflaton candidates which are embedded within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) and discuss their merit on how well they match the current data from the Planck. Since the inflaton carries the Standard Model charges their decay naturally produces all the relevant dof with no dark/hidden sector radiation andmore »« 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
