Production of High-energy Gravitinos during Preheating
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a new technique for the calculation of helicity ±1/2 gravitino production during preheating. It is based on the equivalence between goldstinos and helicity ±1/2 gravitinos at high energies. The problem is thus reduced to the standard (Majorana) fermion production after inflation. Comparison with the results obtained in the unitary gauge is also presented.

Gravitino production during preheating and the equivalence theorem
We review our results on the calculation of helicity ±1/2 gravitino production during preheating. The method we present is based on the equivalence between goldstinos and longitudinal gravitinos at high energies. The problem is thus reduced to the standard (Majorana) fermion production after inflation. Comparison between helicity ±3/2 and ±1/2 production and with the results obtained in the uni...
متن کاملIs nonperturbative inflatino production during preheating a real threat to cosmology?
We discuss toy models where supersymmetry is broken due to a nonvanishing time-varying vacuum expectation value of the inflaton field during preheating. We discuss the production of an inflatino, the superpartner of the inflaton, due to vacuum fluctuations and then we argue that they do not survive until nucleosynthesis and decay along with the inflaton to produce a thermal bath after preheatin...

We study the production of gravitinos during the preheating era after inflation by means of the non-perturbative Bogolyubov technique. Considering only the helicity ±3/2 states, the problem is reduced to the simpler Dirac fermions case. We calculate the production in a particular supergravity model in an expanding universe and obtain the spectrum and number density. Finally we compare the resul...
متن کاملNonthermal production of gravitinos and inflatinos.
We explicitly calculate nonthermal gravitino production during the preheating period in the inflationary Universe. Contrary to earlier investigations, we consider a two-field model to separate the mechanisms of supersymmetry breaking and inflation. We show that the superpartner of the inflaton is significantly generated, while the gravitino production is considerably smaller. Nonthermal product...
متن کاملNonthermal production of gravitinos and inflatinos in the Inflationary Universe
The success of primordial nucleosynthesis imposes stringent bounds on the abundance of gravitational relics. This is particularly true for gravitinos, which for models with gravitationally mediated supersymmetry breaking are expected to have a mass below the TeV scale and thus to decay only after nucleosynthesis has concluded. We discuss the nonthermal production of gravitinos in models with se...
