From WIMPs to FIMPs with low reheating temperatures

J Silva-Malpartida, N Bernal… - … of Cosmology and …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract Weakly-and Feebly-Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs and FIMPs) are among
the best-motivated dark matter (DM) candidates. In this paper, we investigate the production …

Present and future of osmo attice

DG Figueroa, A Florio, F Torrenti - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org

lattice simulations of non-linear dynamics of scalar-gauge field theories in an expanding …

Minimal production of prompt gravitational waves during reheating

G Choi, W Ke, KA Olive - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
The inflationary reheating phase begins when accelerated expansion ends. As all Standard
Model particles are coupled to gravity, gravitational interactions will lead to particle …

Inflaton production of scalar dark matter through fluctuations and scattering

G Choi, MAG Garcia, W Ke, Y Mambrini, KA Olive… - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We study the effects on particle production of a Planck-suppressed coupling between the
inflaton and a scalar dark matter candidate, χ. In the absence of this coupling the dominant …

Minimal solution to the axion isocurvature problem from nonminimal coupling

M Berbig - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
The main limitation for preinflationary breaking of Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry is the upper
bound on the Hubble rate during inflation from axion isocurvature fluctuations. This leads to …

Nonequatorial scalar clouds supported by maximally spinning Kerr black holes

S Hod - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
The physical and mathematical properties of nonequatorial (m≠ l) scalar clouds that are
supported by extremal Kerr black holes are studied analytically in the dimensionless large …

Role of cosmological gravitational particle production in baryogenesis

MM Flores, YF Perez-Gonzalez - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We investigate the generation of the baryon asymmetry within the framework of
cosmological gravitational particle production, employing the Bogoliubov approach. We …

The role of vectors in reheating

MAG Garcia, K Kaneta, W Ke, Y Mambrini… - … of Cosmology and …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
We explore various aspects concerning the role of vector bosons during the reheating
process. Generally, reheating occurs during the period of oscillations of the inflaton …

Gravitational Dark Matter Production in Supergravity -Attractor Inflation

C Wang, W Zhao - arXiv preprint arXiv:2411.15030, 2024 - arxiv.org
We consider gravitational particle production (GPP) of dark matter (DM) under supergravity
framework, where $\alpha $-attractor inflation model is used. The particle spectrum is …
