I will present a model of a hill-climbing inflation based on a scalar-tensor theory. I will show how the reheating can be generated by gravitational particle production and I will present the consequences of the gravitational reheating on the thermal history of the Universe and primordial gravitational waves.

We study the phenomenology of a Next-to-Minimal Supersymmmetric Standard Model (NMSSM) that can achieve early universe inflation. The Higgs sector of such a model clearly differs from the usual NMSSM and can provide a smoking gun of inflation at low energies.
