Large non-Gaussianity generated after D-term Inflation by Right-Handed Sneutrino Curvaton
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we consider large non-Gaussianity generated after D-term inflation in the case that the adiabatic curvature perturbation produced is dominated by a right-handed (RH) sneutrino curvaton. The cosmic string problem can also be evaded with around 10% contribution to the CMB power spectrum and the spectral index ns ≃ 1. The non-Gaussianity produced can be as large as 10 < fNL < 100 for the right-handed sneutrino mass being around mΦ = 100 GeV with the Yukawa coupling λν ∼ 10. In this case, the lightest neutrino mass is 10 eV which favors RH sneutrino leptogenesis. [email protected], [email protected]

Right-Handed Sneutrinos as Curvatons
We consider the possibility that a right-handed sneutrino can serve as the source of energy density perturbations leading to structure formation in cosmology. The cosmological evolution of a coherently oscillating condensate of right-handed sneutrinos is studied for the case where reheating after inflation is due to perturbative inflaton decays. For the case of Dirac neutrinos, it is shown that...
متن کاملA ug 2 00 4 A model of cosmology and particle physics at an intermediate scale
We propose a model of cosmology and particle physics in which all relevant scales arise in a natural way from an intermediate string scale. We are led to assign the string scale to the intermediate scale M * ∼ 10 13 GeV by four independent pieces of physics: electroweak symmetry breaking; the µ parameter; the axion scale; and the neutrino mass scale. The model involves hybrid inflation with the...
متن کاملSupergravity Modification of D-term Hybrid Inflation: Solving the Cosmic String and Spectral Index Problems via a Right-Handed Sneutrino
Supergravity corrections due to the energy density of a right-handed sneutrino can generate a negative mass squared for the inflaton, flattening the inflaton potential and reducing the spectral index and inflaton energy density. For the case of D-term hybrid inflation, we show that the spectral index can be lowered from the conventional value n = 0.98 to a value within the range allowed by the ...
متن کاملSneutrino 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...
متن کاملRight-Handed Sneutrino Condensate Cold Dark Matter and the Baryon-to-Dark Matter Ratio
The similarity of the observed densities of baryons and cold dark matter suggests that they have a common or related origin. This can be understood in the context of the MSSM with right-handed (RH) sneutrinos if cold dark matter is due to a d = 4 flat direction condensate of weakly coupled RH sneutrino LSPs and the baryon asymmetry is generated by Affleck-Dine leptogenesis along the d = 4 (HuL)...
