Curvaton mechanism and its implications to sneutrino cosmology
arXiv:hep-ph/0405047 · doi:10.1016/j.nuclphysbps.2004.10.075
Abstract
I describe basic features of the curvaton scenario where the primordial fluctuation of a late-decaying scalar field, called ``curvaton,'' becomes the dominant source of the cosmic density fluctuations. I also discuss its implications to sneutrino cosmology.
