Effects of Fragmentation on Post-Inflationary Reheating

Marcos A. G. Garcia, Mathieu Gross, Yann Mambrini +3

We consider the effects of fragmentation on the post-inflationary epoch of reheating. In simple single field models of inflation, an inflaton condensate undergoes an oscillatory ph…

Reheating after Inflaton Fragmentation

Marcos A. G. Garcia, Mathias Pierre

In the presence of self-interactions, the post-inflationary evolution of the inflaton field is driven into the non-linear regime by the resonant growth of its fluctuations. The onc…

A New Window into Gravitationally Produced Scalar Dark Matter

Marcos A. G. Garcia, Mathias Pierre, Sarunas Verner

Conventional scenarios of purely gravitationally produced dark matter with masses below the Hubble parameter at the end of inflation are in tension with Cosmic Microwave Background…

Monomial warm inflation revisited

Guillermo Ballesteros, Alejandro Pérez Rodríguez, Mathias Pierre

We revisit the idea that the inflaton may have dissipated part of its energy into a thermal bath during inflation, considering monomial inflationary potentials and three different…

Isocurvature Constraints on Scalar Dark Matter Production from the Inflaton

Marcos A. G. Garcia, Mathias Pierre, Sarunas Verner

We investigate the production of a spectator scalar dark matter field that is directly coupled to the inflaton during inflation and reheating. We consider two specific inflationary…

Effective field theory and inelastic dark matter results from XENON1T

E. Aprile, K. Abe, F. Agostini +157

In this work, we expand on the XENON1T nuclear recoil searches to study the individual signals of dark matter interactions from operators up to dimension-eight in a Chiral Effectiv…
