Higgs inflation with singlet scalar dark matter and right-handed neutrino in light of BICEP2

Abstract

We discuss the Higgs inflation scenario with singlet scalar dark matter and a right-handed neutrino. The singlet scalar and the right-handed neutrino play crucial roles for realizing a suitable plateau of Higgs potential with the center value of the top mass of Tevatron and LHC measurements. This Higgs inflation scenario predicts about a 1 TeV scalar dark matter and an $\mathcal{O}(10^{14})$ GeV right-handed neutrino by use of 125.6 GeV Higgs mass, 173.34 GeV top mass, and a nonminimal gravity coupling $\xi\simeq10.1$. This inflation model is consistent with the recent result of the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r=0.20_{-0.05}^{+0.07}$ by the BICEP2 Collaboration.
