Abstract

To solve the fine-tuning problem in μ\mu-Term Hybrid Inflation, we will realize the supersymmetry scenario with the TeV-scale supersymmetric particles and intermediate-scale gravitino from anomaly mediation, which can be consistent with the WMAP and Planck experiments. Moreover, we for the first time propose the μ\mu-term hybrid inflation in no-scale supergravity. With four Scenarios for the SU(3)C×SU(2)L×SU(2)R×U(1)BLSU(3)_C\times SU(2)_L\times SU(2)_R\times U(1)_{B-L} model, we show that the correct scalar spectral index nsn_s can be obtained, while the tensor-to-scalar ratio rr is prediced to be tiny, about 101010810^{-10}-10^{-8}. Also, the SU(2)R×U(1)BLSU(2)_R\times U(1)_{B-L} symmetry breaking scale is around 101410^{14} GeV, and all the supersymmetric particles except gravitino are around TeV scale while gravitino mass is around 1091010^{9-10} GeV. Considering the complete potential terms linear in SS, we for the first time show that the tadpole term, which is the key for such kind of inflationary models to be consistent with the observed scalar spectral index, vanishes after inflation. Thus, to obtain the μ\mu term, we need to generate the supersymmetry breaking soft term AκSΦΦκSΦΦA^{S \Phi \Phi'}_{\kappa} \kappa S \Phi \Phi' due to AκSΦΦ=0A^{S \Phi \Phi'}_{\kappa}=0 in no-scale supergravity, where Φ\Phi and Φ\Phi' are vector-like Higgs fields at high energy. We show that the proper AκSΦΦκSΦΦA^{S \Phi \Phi'}_{\kappa} \kappa S \Phi \Phi' term can be obtained in the M-theory inspired no-scale supergravity. We also point out that AκSΦΦA^{S \Phi \Phi'}_{\kappa} around 700 GeV can be generated via the renormalization group equation running from string scale.
