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 …

Gravitational portals with nonminimal couplings

S Cléry, Y Mambrini, KA Olive, A Shkerin, S Verner - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
We consider the effects of nonminimal couplings to curvature of the form ξ SS 2 R for three
types of scalars: the Higgs boson, the inflaton, and a scalar dark matter candidate. We …

Leptogenesis, primordial gravitational waves, and PBH-induced reheating

B Barman, SJ Das, MR Haque, Y Mambrini - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We explore the possibility of producing the observed matter-antimatter asymmetry of the
Universe uniquely from the evaporation of primordial black holes (PBHs) that are formed in …

Effects of fragmentation on post-inflationary reheating

MAG Garcia, M Gross, Y Mambrini… - … of Cosmology and …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We consider the effects of fragmentation on the post-inflationary epoch of reheating. In
simple single field models of inflation, an inflaton condensate undergoes an oscillatory …

Gravitational reheating

MR Haque, D Maity - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
Our present understanding of the reheating phase is incomplete due to a lack of
observations. Apart from its cosmological implications, the reheating should play a vital role …

Boltzmann or Bogoliubov? Approaches compared in gravitational particle production

K Kaneta, SM Lee, K Oda - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Gravitational particle production is a minimal contribution to reheating the Universe after the
end of inflation. To study this production channel, two different approaches have commonly …

Probing reheating with graviton bremsstrahlung

N Bernal, S Cléry, Y Mambrini… - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
We investigate the stochastic gravitational wave (GW) spectrum resulting from graviton
bremsstrahlung during inflationary reheating. We focus on an inflaton ϕ oscillating around a …

Inflaton phenomenology via reheating in light of primordial gravitational waves and the latest data

A Chakraborty, MR Haque, D Maity, R Mondal - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We are in the era of precision cosmology which offers us a unique opportunity to investigate
beyond standard model physics. Toward this endeavor, inflaton is assumed to be a perfect …

WIMPs, FIMPs, and Inflaton phenomenology via reheating, CMB and∆ Neff

MD Haque, D Maity, R Mondal - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract In this paper, we extensively analyzed the reheating dynamics after inflation and
looked into its possible implication on dark matter (DM) and inflaton phenomenology. We …

Higgs boson induced reheating and ultraviolet frozen-in dark matter

A Ahmed, B Grzadkowski, A Socha - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract A reheating phase in the early universe is an essential part of all inflationary
models during which not only the Standard Model (SM) quanta are produced but it can also …
