چکیده

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 production of gravitinos seems thus less worrisome than recently claimed.

Nonthermal 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...

The Inflatino Problem in Supergravity Inflationary Models

We consider the potential problems due to the production of inflatinos and gravitinos after inflation. Inflationary models with a single scale set by the microwave background anisotropies have a low enough reheat temperature to avoid problems with the thermal production of gravitinos. Moreover, the nonthermal production of gravitinos has been shown to be sufficiently small if the sector ultimat...

Coupled fields in external background with application to nonthermal production of gravitinos

We provide the formalism for the quantization of systems of coupled bosonic and fermionic fields in a time dependent classical background. The occupation numbers of the particle eigenstates can be clearly defined and computed, through a generalization of the standard procedure valid for a single field in which Bogolyubov coefficients are employed. We apply our formalism to the problem of nonthe...

Lithium-6: A probe of the early universe

I consider the synthesis of 6Li due to the decay of relic particles, such as gravitinos or moduli, after the epoch of big bang nucleosynthesis. The synthesized 6Li/H ratio may be compared to 6Li/H in metal-poor stars which, in the absence of stellar depletion of 6Li, yields significantly stronger constraints on relic particle densities than the usual consideration of overproduction of 3He. Prod...

Thermal and Non-Thermal Production of Gravitinos in the Early Universe

The excessive production of gravitinos in the early universe destroys the successful predictions of nucleosynthesis. The thermal generation of gravitinos after inflation leads to the bound on the reheating temperature, TRH < ∼ 10 9 GeV. However, it has been recently realized that the non-thermal generation of gravitinos in the early universe can be extremely efficient and overcome the thermal p...
