Superheavy 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 کاملSuperheavy Dark Matter from Thermal Inflation
It is quite plausible that the mass of the dark matter particle increases significantly after its freeze-out, due to a scalar field rolling to large values. We describe a realization of this scenario in the context of thermal inflation which naturally gives a cold dark matter particle with the correct cosmological abundance and a mass around 10 GeV, evading the conventional upper bound of 10 Ge...
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. ...
متن کاملClassical inflaton field induced creation of superheavy dark matter
We calculate analytically and numerically the production of superheavy dark matter (X) when it is coupled to the inflaton field φ within the context of a slow-roll mφφ /2 inflationary model with coupling gXφ/2. We find that X particles with a mass as large as 1000 Hi, where Hi is the value of the Hubble expansion rate at the end of inflation, can be produced in sufficient abundance to be cosmol...
متن کاملUltra - High Energy Cosmic Rays , Superheavy Long - Living Particles , and Matter Creation after Inflation
The highest energy cosmic rays, above the Greisen–Zatsepin–Kuzmin cut-off of cosmic ray spectrum, may be produced in decays of superheavy long-living X-particles. We conjecture that these particles may be produced naturally in the early Universe from vacuum fluctuations during inflation and may constitute a considerable fraction of Cold Dark Matter. We predict a new cut-off in the UHE cosmic ra...
