Heavy particle production during reheating
We discuss production of heavy particles during reheating. We find that the very energetic inflaton decay products can contribute to the production of massive stable particles, either through collisions with the thermal plasma, or through collisions with each other. If such reactions exist, the same massive particles can also be produced directly in inflaton decay, once higher–order processes a...
متن کاملOn the gravitational production of superheavy dark matter
The dark matter in the universe can be in the form of a superheavy matter species (wimpzilla). Several mechanisms have been proposed for the production of wimpzilla particles during or immediately following the inflationary epoch. Perhaps the most attractive mechanism is through gravitational particle production, where particles are produced simply as a result of the expansion of the universe. ...

when the curvature of space is negative (L is the Lobachevskij constant). For obtaining a potential of Newton (or Coulomb) It is necessary to put c2 = −c1/L, L → ∞ (c2 = −c1/R, R → ∞). Let’s consider hereinafter, that at availability of the space curvature to be obliged non-zero, owing to what the Newton potential should be exchanged by a potential (1), in which c2 = −c1/L And to which one actu...
متن کاملGravitational Excitons as Dark Matter ∗
In earlier work it was pointed out that for warped product spacetimes the conformal (geometrical moduli) excitations of the internal compactified factor spaces should be observable as massive scalar fields in the external spacetime. Here we show that these scalar fields (gravitational excitons) describe weakly interacting particles and can be considered as dark matter component. Masses of the g...
متن کاملDark Matter and Gravitational Lensing
The last decade has shown a considerable development of gravitational lensing for cosmology because it probes the amount and the nature of dark matter, and provides information on the density parameter Ω, the cosmological constant Λ and the Hubble constant Ho. Therefore, gravitational lensing can constrain the cosmological scenario which gave birth to the Universe as it appears today. The ongoi...
