Cosmological gravitational particle production and its implications for cosmological relics

EW Kolb, AJ Long - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2024 - APS
Cosmological gravitational particle production (CGPP) is the creation of particles in an
expanding universe due solely to their gravitational interaction. These particles can play an …

Doubly peaked induced stochastic gravitational wave background: testing baryogenesis from primordial black holes

N Bhaumik, A Ghoshal, M Lewicki - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 - Springer
A bstract Hawking evaporation of primordial black holes (PBHs) can facilitate the generation
of matter-antimatter asymmetry. We focus on ultra-low mass PBHs that briefly dominate the …

Gravitational wave signatures of a PBH-generated baryon-dark matter coincidence

B Barman, D Borah, SJ Das, R Roshan - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We propose a new way of probing the nonthermal origin of baryon asymmetry of the
Universe (BAU) and dark matter (DM) from evaporating primordial black holes (PBHs) via …

Probing non-standard neutrino interactions with a light boson from next galactic and diffuse supernova neutrinos

K Akita, SH Im, M Masud - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 - Springer
A bstract Non-standard neutrino interactions with a massive boson can produce the bosons
in the core of core-collapse supernovae (SNe). After the emission of the bosons from the SN …

Limits on light primordial black holes from high-scale leptogenesis

R Calabrese, M Chianese, J Gunn, G Miele, S Morisi… - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We investigate the role that the evaporation of light primordial black holes may have played
in the production of the baryon asymmetry of the Universe through high-scale leptogenesis …

Imprint of PBH domination on gravitational waves generated by cosmic strings

D Borah, SJ Das, R Roshan, R Samanta - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We study the effect of an ultralight primordial black hole (PBH) dominated phase on the
gravitational wave (GW) spectrum generated by a cosmic string (CS) network formed as a …

Rescuing gravitational-reheating in chaotic inflation

B Barman, N Bernal, J Rubio - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
We show, within the single-field inflationary paradigm, that a linear non-minimal interaction ξ
MP ϕ R between the inflaton field ϕ and the Ricci scalar R can result in successful inflation …

Dynamics of false vacuum bubbles with trapped particles

M Lewicki, K Müürsepp, J Pata, M Vasar, V Vaskonen… - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We study the impact of the ambient fluid on the evolution of collapsing false vacuum bubbles
by simulating the dynamics of a coupled bubble-particle system. A significant increase in the …

Cogenesis of baryon and dark matter with PBHs and the QCD axion

D Borah, N Das, SJ Das, R Samanta - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
With entropy injection, an early matter-dominated epoch (EMD) impels the axion decay
constant fa toward larger values to produce correct axion dark matter (DM) abundance …

Dark matter from higher-dimensional primordial black holes

A Friedlander, N Song, AC Vincent - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
The evaporation of primordial black holes provides a promising dark matter production
mechanism without relying on any nongravitational interactions between the dark sector and …
