Abstract

Recent BICEP2 results on CMB polarisation B-modes suggest a high value for the inflation scale V01/4≃1016 GeV, giving experimental evidence for a physical scale in between the EW scale and the Planck mass. We propose that this new high scale could be interpreted as evidence for a high SUSY breaking scale with MSSM sparticles with masses of order Mss≃1012–1013 GeVMss≃1012–1013 GeV. We show that such a large value for MssMss is consistent with a Higgs mass around 126 GeV. We briefly discuss some possible particle physics implications of this assumption.
