Low Scale Higgs Inflation with Gauss-Bonnet Coupling
  Recent LHC data provides precise values of coupling constants of the Higgs
field, however, these measurements do not determine its coupling with gravity.
We explore this freedom to see whether Higgs field non-minimally coupled to
Gauss-Bonnet term in 4-dimensions can lead to inflation generating the observed
density fluctuations. We obtain analytical solution for this model and that the
exit of inflation (with a finite number of e-folding) demands that the energy
scale of inflation is close to Electro-weak scale. We compare the scalar and
tensor power spectrum of our model with PLANCK data and discuss its
implications.
