Cosmic microwave background and parametric resonance in reheating
arXiv:hep-ph/0109218 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.65.103524
Abstract
The variation of the perturbative 3-curvature parameter, ζ, is investigated in the period of reheating after inflation. The two-field model used has the inflaton, with an extra scalar field coupled to it, and non-linear effects of both fields are included as well as a slow decay mechanism into the hydrodynamic fluid of the radiation era. Changes in ζoccur and persist into the succeeding cosmic eras to influence the generation of the cosmic microwave background fluctuations.
