On unitarity in singlet inflation with a non-minimal coupling to gravity
read the original abstract
We study inflationary models based on a non-minimal coupling of a singlet scalar to gravity, focussing on the preheating dynamics and the unitarity issues in this regime. If the scalar does not have significant couplings to other fields, particle production after inflation is far less efficient than that in Higgs inflation. As a result, unitarity violation at large non-minimal couplings requires a different treatment. We find that collective effects in inflaton scattering processes during preheating make an important impact on the unitarity constraint. Within effective field theory, the consequent upper bound on the non-minimal coupling is of order a few hundreds.

Status of light inflaton: from inflation to laboratory
A sub-10 GeV Higgs-mixed inflaton fits ACT inflation data only if a free loop-correction parameter is tuned, and its surviving mass–mixing window is testable by SHiP, FASER2, and MATHUSLA.
