Reheating with a Composite Higgs
  The flatness of the inflaton potential and lightness of the Higgs could have
the common origin of the breaking of a global symmetry. This scenario provides
a unified framework of Goldstone Inflation and Composite Higgs, where the
inflaton and the Higgs both have a pseudo--Goldstone boson nature. The inflaton
reheats the Universe via decays to the Higgs and subsequent secondary
production of other SM particles via the top and massive vector bosons. We find
that inflationary predictions and perturbative reheating conditions are
consistent with CMB data for sub--Planckian values of the fields, as well as
opening up the possibility of inflation at the TeV scale. We explore this
exciting possibility, leading to an interplay between collider data and
cosmological constraints.
