Conformally invariant Inert Higgs doublet model: an unified model for Inflation and Dark matter

  • 1. Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad 380009 (India)

Description

Motivation of our present study is the searching for an unified model which can describe both the inflation as well as dark matter. From particle physics point of view, Higgs can be the most interesting candidate for the scalar field inflation. Conformal coupling of the inflaton with the gravity can generate the density perturbation and we use this idea in a realistic inert Higgs doublet model. We study the loop corrections of this conformally coupled system and in present era there is electroweak symmetry breaking to provide the mass of the particles. Study of the mass spectrum in present era reveals the scalar dark matter with mass 33.7 GeV and lightest Higgs at 125.6 GeV.
