A pr 1 99 9 Quadratic reheating
نویسنده
چکیده
The reheating process for the inflationary scenario is investigated phenomenologically. The decay of the oscillating massive inflaton field into light bosons is modeled after an out of equilibrium mixture of interacting fluids within the framework of irreversible thermodynamics. Self-consistent, analytic results for the evolution of the main macroscopic magnitudes like temperature and particle number densities are obtained. The models for linear and quadratic decay rates are investigated in the quasiperfect regime. The linear model is shown to reheat very slowly while the quadratic one is shown to yield explosive particle and entropy production. The maximum reheating temperature is reached much faster and its magnitude is comparable with the inflaton mass. PACS 98.80.Hw, 04.40.Nr, 05.70.Ln

By attaching basis vectors to the components of matter fields, one may render free action densities fully covariant. Both the connection and the tetrads are quadratic forms in these basis vectors. The metric of spacetime, which is quadratic in the tetrads, is then quartic in the basis vectors. ∗Submitted to the 1993 competition of the Gravity Research Foundation.

It is shown that linear time-dependent invariants for arbitrary multi-dimensional quadratic systems can be obtained from the Lagrangian and Hamil-tonian formulation procedures by considering a variation of coordinates and mo-menta that follows the classical trajectory and defines a noetherian symmetry transformation.

متن کاملReheating in Chaotic D-Term Inflation
A simple model is discussed to give rise to successful reheating in chaotic D-term inflation with a quadratic inflaton potential. Leptogenesis through the inflaton decay is also discussed in this model.

The axion is one of the best motivated candidates for particle dark matter. We study and update the constraints imposed by the recent CMB and LSS experiments on the mass of axions produced by the misalignment mechanism, as a function of both the inflationary scale and the reheating temperature. Under some particular although not unconventional assumptions, the axionic field induces too large is...
