Particle creation in a f(R) theory with cosmological constraints

Abstract

In this paper we study the creation of super-massive real scalar particles in the framework of a $f(R)=R-\beta /R^n$ modified gravity theory, with parameters constrained by observational data. The analysis is restrict to a homogeneous and isotropic flat and radiation dominated universe. We compare the results to the standard Einstein gravity with cosmological constant ($\Lambda CDM$ model), and we show that the total number density of created particles in the $f(R)$ model is very close to the standard case. Another interesting result is that the spectrum of created particles is $\beta$ independent at early times.
