Hunting Higgs Inflation in the NMSSM — •Wolfgang G. Hollik¹, Stefan Liebler², Gudrid Moortgat-Pick^1,3, Sebastian Paßehr⁴, and Georg Weiglein¹ — ¹DESY, Hamburg, Germany — ²ITP KIT, Karlsruhe, Germany — ³UHH, Hamburg, Germany — ⁴LPTHE, Paris, France

Most cosmological models of inflation are far away from providing a smoking gun at low energies. A model of Higgs inflation in the Next-to Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, however, changes the NMSSM phenomenology drastically and may be well distinguished from the pure NMSSM or MSSM at a future linear collider.

We point out certain differences of the inflationary model to the ordinary NMSSM and discuss the Higgs and Neutralino/Chargino sector in particular to identify the smoking gun of inflation at electroweak energies.
