Classical inflaton field induced creation of superheavy dark matter
Daniel J. H. Chung
We calculate analytically and numerically the production of superheavy dark matter (X) when it is coupled to the inflaton field ϕwithin the context of a slow-roll m_ϕ^2 ϕ^2/2 infla…

Production of massive particles during reheating
Daniel J. H. Chung, Edward W. Kolb, Antonio Riotto
What is commonly called the reheat temperature, , is not the maximum temperature obtained after inflation. The maximum temperature is, in fact, much larger than . A…

Nonthermal Supermassive Dark Matter
Daniel J. H. Chung, Edward W. Kolb, Antonio Riotto
We discuss several cosmological production mechanisms for nonthermal supermassive dark matter and argue that dark matter may be elementary particles of mass much greater than the w…
