$\mu$-Hybrid Inflation with Low Reheat Temperature and Observable Gravity Waves

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2017-10-11 v2

Abstract

In μ\mu-hybrid inflation a nonzero inflaton vacuum expectation value induced by supersymmetry breaking is proportional to the gravitino mass m3/2m_{3/2}, which can be exploited to resolve the minimal supersymmetric standard model μ\mu problem. We show how this scenario can be successfully implemented with m3/21100m_{3/2} \sim 1-100 TeV and reheat temperature as low as 10610^6 GeV by employing a minimal renormalizable superpotential coupled with a well defined non-minimal K\"ahler potential. The tensor-to-scalar ratio rr, a canonical measure of primordial gravity waves in most cases is less than or of the order of 10610310^{-6}-10^{-3}.
