Description for Non-Minimal Higgs Inflation and Frame Dependence in Cosmology
Hardback. This book explores the idea that the Higgs boson of the Standard Model and cosmological inflation are two manifestations of the same scalar field: the Higgs-inflaton. It connects two energy scales, building a bridge between particle physics and cosmology. Series: Springer Theses. Num Pages: 295 pages, 20 black & white illustrations, 21 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PGK; PHQ; PHR; PHU. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 18. Weight in Grams: 608.
This thesis explores the idea that the Higgs boson of the Standard Model and the cosmological inflation are just two manifestations of one and the same scalar field - the Higgs-inflation. By this unification two energy scales that are separated by many orders of magnitude are connected, thereby building a bridge between particle physics and cosmology. An essential ingredient for making this model consistent with observational data is a strong non-minimal coupling to gravity. Predictions for the value of the Higgs mass as well as for cosmological parameters are derived, and can be tested by future experiments. The results become ... Read more
