Description
The relaxion has been proposed three years ago as a dynamical solution to the hierarchy problem of the Standard Model. I will briefly review the original construction, discuss the possibility that the relaxion is also the inflaton, and comment on a more recently proposed mechanism in which particle production is responsible for relaxing the electroweak scale.
