Can Standard Model Higgs Seed the Formation of Structures in Our
Universe?
   [PDF]

Ki-Young Choi, Qing-Guo Huang
We study the possibility that the Standard Model (SM) Higgs can seed the formation of the structures in our Universe and the temperature anisotropy in the cosmic microwave background (CMB). We found that Higgs cannot play the role of curvaton with ordinary inflation model due to the small energy density when it decays. Modulated reheating by Higgs can be another possibility. However the present bound on non-Gaussianity severely constrains the type of potential of inflaton field and the Higgs-dependent interaction.
