Model for fluctuating inflaton coupling: sneutrino induced adiabatic perturbations and nonthermal leptogenesis.

چکیده

We discuss a unique possibility of generating adiabatic density perturbations and leptogenesis from the spatial fluctuations of the inflaton decay rate. The key assumption is that the initial isocurvature perturbations are created in the right-handed sneutrino sector during inflation which is then converted into adiabatic perturbations when the inflaton decays. We discuss distinct imprints on the cosmic microwave background radiation, which can distinguish nonthermal versus thermal leptogenesis.

Leptogenesis Scenarios via Non-Thermally Produced Right-handed Neutrino and Sneutrino in Supersymmetric Seesaw Model

Leptogenesis via non-thermally produced right-handed (s)neutrino is surveyed systematically. In particular, we focus on leptogenesis scenarios from righthanded (s)neutrino produced by the decay of inflaton and from right-handed sneutrino condensate. We also briefly discuss leptogenesis after sneutrino inflation. Resultant lepton asymmetry and constraints from the gravitino problem are studied i...

Challenges in generating density perturbations from a fluctuating inflaton coupling

Inflation is the main contender for an explanation of the observed adiabatic density perturbations with a nearly scale invariant spectrum [1]. However, recently alternative mechanisms for generating the density perturbations have also been much discussed. In the curvaton scenario, iscocurvature perturbations of some light “curvaton” field are converted into adiabatic perturbations in the post-i...

Sneutrino condensate source for density perturbations, leptogenesis, and low reheat temperature.

We bring together some known ingredients beyond the standard model physics that can explain the hot big bang model with the observed baryon asymmetry and also the fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background radiation with a minimal set of assumptions. We propose an interesting scenario where the inflaton energy density is dumped into an infinitely large extra dimension. Instead of the infla...

Nonthermal leptogenesis with almost degenerate superheavy neutrinos

We present a model with minimal assumptions for nonthermal leptogenesis with almost degenerate superheavy right-handed neutrinos in a supersymmetric setup. In this scenario the gauge singlet inflaton is directly coupled to the right-handed ~s!neutrinos with a mass heavier than the inflaton mass. This helps to avoid potential problems which can naturally arise otherwise. The inflaton decays into...

Sneutrino Hybrid Inflation

We review the scenario of sneutrino hybrid inflation, where one of the singlet sneutrinos, the superpartners of the right-handed neutrinos, plays the role of the inflaton. In a minimal model of sneutrino hybrid inflation, the spectral index is given by ns ≈ 1 + 2γ . With γ = 0.025± 0.01 constrained by WMAP, a running spectral index |dns/dlnk|≪ |γ| and a tensor-to-scalar ratio r ≪ γ2 are predict...
