Brane inflation with dark reheating

arXiv:hep-ph/0411021 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2004.12.060

Abstract

In brane world scenarios inflationary vacuum energy may escape into the higher dimensional bulk leaving behind a dark radiation effect on the brane. The paper analyses the damping of an inflaton by massless bulk scalar radiation and the production of dark radiation in a Randall-Sundrum type of model.
