Necessary ingredients for relaxion are Relaxion dependent Higgs mass Higgs vev dependent Back-reaction potential Inflationary Hubble friction [Graham, Kaplan, Rajendran 15]
Whole scanning process take place during inflation What happens after the reheating?
Two possible scenarios Reheating temperature lower than electroweak scale Reheating temperature higher than electroweak scale
Two possible scenarios Reheating temperature lower than electroweak scale thermal correction is small barrier is still there relaxion does not evolve Reheating temperature higher than electroweak scale
Two possible scenarios Reheating temperature lower than electroweak scale thermal correction is small barrier is still there relaxion does not evolve Reheating temperature higher than electroweak scale thermal correction is large gauge symmetry is restored barrier disappears relaxion evolves!

To preserve successful selection of electroweak scale we need small enough field velocity
To preserve successful selection of electroweak scale, we require otherwise, the selection of electroweak scale is easily ruined
Dynamically selected EW scale is not stable against high reheating temperature Alternative possibility?
A possibility: A new frictional force from Abelian gauge boson [Choi, HK, Toyokazu; Work in progress]
A possibility: A new frictional force from Abelian gauge boson Friction from Hubble Friction from gauge field production [Choi, HK, Toyokazu; Work in progress]

Conclusion 1. High reheating temperature is dangerous for cosmological relaxation 2. If relaxion has anomalous coupling to Abelian gauge boson, it transfer its kinetic energy into gauge bosons 3. Field velocity approaches to terminal velocity, 4. The relaxion can be re-captured by back-reaction potential at EWPT under reasonable choice of parameters
