PeV-scale Supersymmetry from New Inflation
  We show that heavy supersymmetric particles around O(100) TeV to O(1) PeV
naturally appear in new inflation in which the Higgs boson responsible for the
breaking of U(1)B-L plays the role of inflaton. Most important, the
supersymmetric breaking scale is bounded above by the inflationary dynamics, in
order to suppress the Coleman-Weinberg potential which would otherwise spoil
the slow-roll inflation. Our scenario has rich phenomenological and
cosmological implications: the Higgs boson mass at around 125 GeV can be easily
explained, non-thermal leptogenesis works automatically, the gravitino
production from inflaton decay is suppressed, the dark matter is either the
lightest neutralino or the QCD axion, and the upper bound on the inflation
scale for the modulus stabilization can be marginally satisfied.
