Phenomenology of an Extended Higgs Portal Inflation Model after Planck 2013

Abstract

We consider an extended inflation model in the frame of Higgs portal model, assuming a nonminimal coupling of the scalar field to the gravity. Using the new data from Planck $2013$ and other relevant astrophysical data, we obtain the relation between the nonminimal coupling $\xi$ and the self-coupling $\lambda$ needed to drive the inflation, and find that this inflationary model is favored by the astrophysical data. Furthermore, we discuss the constraints on the model parameters from the experiments of particle physics, especially the recent Higgs data at the LHC.
