Supersymmetric Inflation, Matter and Dark Energy
Abstract
Description
In this talk, based on \cite{Kane:2001rb}, we emphasise that intermediate scale supersymmetric inflation models are particularly attractive since inflation, baryogenesis and the relic abundance of cold dark matter (CDM) are all related by a set of parameters which also affect particle physics collider phenomena, neutrino masses and the strong CP problem. We also point out that the present day relic abundances of different forms of matter are (in principle) calculable from the supersymmetric inflation model together with a measurement of the CMB temperature and the Hubble constant. From these relic abundances one can deduce the amount of the present day dark energy (DE) density.
