Superheavy dark matter
We show that, contrary to the standard lore, dark matter may be superheavy (many orders of magnitude larger than the weak scale). We show that massive particles may be produced naturally during the transition from the inflationary phase to either a matter-dominated or radiation-dominated phase as a result of the expansion of the background spacetime acting on vacuum quantum fluctuations of the ...
متن کاملSuperheavy Dark Matter A
In the standard dark matter scenarios, WIMPs are usually considered to have once been in local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE), and their present abundance is determined by their self-annihilation cross section. In that case, unitarity and the lower bound on the age of the universe constrains the mass of the relic to be less than 500 TeV. 1 On the other hand, if the DM particles never attained ...
متن کاملSuperheavy Dark Matter and Parametric Resonance
We propose a new scenario to produce the superheavy dark matter based on the inflationary universe. In our scenario, the inflaton couples to both a boson and a stable fermion. Although the fermion is produced by the inflaton decay after inflation, almost energy density of the inflaton is transmitted into the radiation by parametric resonance which causes the explosively copious production of th...
متن کاملSuperheavy Dark Matter and Thermal Inflation
The thermal inflation is the most plausible mechanism that solves the cosmological moduli problem naturally. We discuss relic abundance of superheavy particle X in the presence of the thermal inflation assuming that its lifetime is longer than the age of the universe, and show that the long-lived particle X of mass 1012–1014 GeV may form a part of the dark matter in the present universe in a wi...
متن کاملPrimordial Nucleosynthesis and Dark Matter
Following a brief introduction to early Universe cosmology, the current of status of big bang nucleosynthesis is reviewed and the concordance between theory and observation is examined in detail. The abundances of 4 He and 7 Li determine the value of the baryon-to-photon ratio, η to be relatively low, η ≈ 1.8 × 10 −10 , and agrees with some recent measurements of D/H in quasar absorption system...
