Inflationary Particle Production and the Swampland
Dieter Lüst, Joaquin Masias, Mauro Pieroni +1
We investigate the impact of particle production during inflation in scenarios where an infinite tower of states features a mass scale that decreases exponentially along the inflat…

Constraining primordial curvature perturbations with present and future GW detectors
Mauro Pieroni
Primordial scalar curvature perturbations (), typically probed on large cosmological scales via CMB and LSS observations, can be significantly enhanced on smaller scales by var…

Gravitational waves from cosmic strings in LISA: reconstruction pipeline and physics interpretation
Jose J. Blanco-Pillado, Yanou Cui, Sachiko Kuroyanagi +6
We initiate the LISA template databank for stochastic gravitational wave backgrounds sourced by cosmic strings. We include two templates, an analytical template, which enables more…
