Abstract
We argue that the Higgs boson of the Standard Model can lead to inflation and produce cosmological perturbations in accordance with observations. An essential requirement is the non-minimal coupling of the Higgs scalar field to gravity; no new particle besides already present in the electroweak theory is required. © 2007 Elsevier B.V.

The quantum generation of fluctuation spectra is calculated by numerically solving the linearized perturbation equations for multiple scalar fields, the metric, and the radiation into which the scalars dissipate, following the evolution from inside the horizon through reheating.

The previous belief that {lambda} has to be excessively small is shown to be founded for ordinary'' inflation and the chaotic'' model proves to be more attractive in most respects.
