   Reheating and Transition to the Standard Model
   Inflation does not last forever. It terminates when the slow-roll conditions are violated (i.e., $\epsilon$ or $\eta$ become $\ge 1$). At this point, the inflaton field begins to oscillate rapidly around the minimum of its potential, $V_{min}$. This oscillatory energy is then efficiently converted into standard model particles (quarks, leptons, photons) through a process called reheating [6].
