Description
A trilinear coupling between an inflaton and the Standard Model Higgs boson opens up an exponentially enhanced decay channel. Such a coupling is for instance generically present in a combined Goldstone Inflation and Composite Higgs scenario. Here I will discuss our analysis of such a scenario and its constraints, paying attention to both the feasibility of the production of Standard Model particles and the stability of the electroweak vacuum.
