INFLATION AT THE ELECTROWEAK SCALE

We present a model for slow-rollover inflation where the vacuum energy that drives inflation is of the order of G(F)-2; unlike most models, the conversion of vacuum energy to radiation (''reheating'') is moderately efficient. The scalar field responsible for inflation is a standard-model singlet, develops a vacuum expectation value of 4 x 10(6) GeV, has a mass of about 1 GeV, and can play a role in electroweak phenomena. We also discuss models where the energy scale of inflation is somewhat larger, but still well below the unification scale.
