A Strong Electroweak Phase Transition from the Inflaton Field

Tenkanen, Tommi, Tuominen, Kimmo, Vaskonen, Ville

Understand

We study a singlet scalar extension of the Standard Model.

The singlet scalar is coupled non-minimally to gravity and assumed to drive inflation, and also couple sufficiently strongly with the SM Higgs field in order to provide for a strong first order electroweak phase transition.
Requiring the model to describe inflation successfully, be compatible with the LHC data, and yield a strong first order electroweak phase transition, we identify the regions of the parameter space where the model is viable.
We also include a singlet fermion with scalar coupling to the singlet scalar to probe the sensitivity of the constraints on additional degrees of freedom and their couplings in the singlet sector.
