In this paper we reconsider the supersymmetric hybrid inflation in the context of the braneworld scenario . The observational bounds are satisfied with an inflationary energy scale $μ\simeq 4\times 10^{-4}M_p$, without any fine-tuning of the coupling parameter, provided that the five-dimensional Planck scale is $M_5\stackrel{<}{\sim} 2\times 10^{-3}M_p$ . We have also obtained an upper bound on the the brane tension .
We propose a new realisation of hybrid inflation in supergravity where the inflaton field does not appear in the superpotential but contributes only through the Kahler potential. The scalar potential derived from an R-invariant superpotential has the same form as that of the Linde's original version. The correct magnitude of the density perturbations amplitude is found without any fine-tuning of the coupling parameter in the superpotential for an acceptable value of the fundamental energy scale of the theory. The eta-problem was also resolved in this model.
