Multiple scalar particle decay and perturbation generation

چکیده
We study the evolution of the universe which contains a multiple number of nonrelativistic scalar fields decaying into both radiation and pressureless matter. We present a powerful analytic formalism to calculate the matter and radiation curvature perturbations, and find that our analytic estimates agree with full numerical results within an error of less than one percent. Also we discuss the isocurvature perturbation between matter and radiation components, which may be detected by near future cosmological observations, and point out that it crucially depends on the branching ratio of the decay rate of the scalar fields and that it is hard to make any model independent predictions.

Simulation of Low Reynolds Number Isotropic Turbulence Including the Passive Scalar
Full simulations of homogeneous isotropic turbulence containing a homogeneous passive scalar were made at low Reynolds numbers and various Prandtl numbers. The results show that the spectral behavior of the two fields are quite similar; both fields decay as power-law functions of time. However. the decay exponent is quite dependent on both the Reynolds and Prandtl numbers. The decay exponent of...
متن کاملInvestigating the Third Order Solitary Wave Generation Accuracy using Incompressible Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics
This paper examines the generation and propagation of a Third order solitary water wave along the channel. First the Incompressible Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (ISPH) numerical method is described and the boundary condition handling method is presented. The numerical model is then used to simulate solitary wave propagation along the fixed depth channel. The numerical results are compared wi...
متن کاملTesting and comparing tachyon inflation to single standard field inflation
We study the evolution of perturbations during the domination and decay of a massive particle species whose mass and decay rate are allowed to depend on the expectation value of a light scalar field. We specialize to the case where the light field is slow-rolling, showing that during a phase of inhomogeneous mass-domination and decay the isocurvature perturbation of the light field is converted...
متن کاملEquation of motion of a classical scalar field with back reaction of produced particles
In the one-loop approximation we derive the equation of motion for a classical scalar field ϕ c (t) with the back reaction of particle production included. Renormalization of mass and couplings of ϕ c is done explicitly. The equation is non-local in time, but can easily be treated perturbatively or numerically. For the weak trilinear coupling of the external field to the produced particles, the...
متن کاملCurvature Perturbation from Supersymmetric Flat Directions
We show that a contribution to the total curvature perturbation may be due to the presence of flat directions in supersymmetric models. It is generated at the first oscillation of the flat direction condensate when the latter relaxes to the minimum of its potential after the end of inflation. We also point out that, if the contribution to the total curvature perturbation from supersymmetric fla...
