Abstract:	In this talk we will review how inflation can be embedded within a supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model where the inflaton carries the Standard Model charges. There is no need of an ad-hoc scalar field to be introduced in order to explain the temperature anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background radiation, all the ingredients are present within a minimal supersymmetric Standard Model. After inflation the inflaton fragments due to negative pressure to form Q-balls and anti-Q-balls, which produces detectable gravitational wave right at the TeV scale. Therefore for the first time inflaton properties can be directly linked to the particle phenomenology, dark matter, and the gravitational waves.
