  • Higgs inflation, seesaw physics and fermion dark matter 
    Okada, Nobuchika; Shafi, Qaisar (Elsevier Science BV, 2015-06-03)
    We present an inflationary model in which the Standard Model Higgs doublet field with non-minimal coupling to gravity drives inflation, and the effective Higgs potential is stabilized by new physics which includes a dark ...
