Resonant Gravitational Production of Chiral Dark Photons
Leah Jenks, Marc Kamionkowski, Edward W. Kolb
Vector fields with a chiral, parity-odd coupling to a pseudoscalar field are known to undergo resonant amplification. In this work, we study this phenomenon in the context of cosmo…
Nonthermal leptogenesis via cosmological gravitational particle production is tested by inflationary gravitational waves
Tammi Chowdhury, Leah Jenks, Edward W. Kolb +2
We explore the coincidence of scales between cosmic inflation and right-handed neutrinos in seesaw models. We show that inflation models, which will be tested by next-generation CM…
Higgs Inflation: Particle Factory
Tammi Chowdhury, Leah Jenks, Edward W. Kolb +1
We study cosmological gravitational particle production (CGPP) in Higgs inflation, wherein the inflaton is a scalar field with quartic self-coupling and a nonminimal coupling t…
Gravitational Particle Production of Scalars: Analytic and Numerical Approaches Including Early Reheating
Leah Jenks, Edward W. Kolb, Keyer Thyme
Cosmological gravitational particle production (GPP) is a generic mechanism by which particles are produced during the inflationary epoch. In this work we consider the GPP of massi…
Cosmological Implications of Kalb-Ramond-Like-Particles
Christian Capanelli, Leah Jenks, Edward W. Kolb +1
The Kalb-Ramond field is an antisymmetric, rank-two tensor field which most notably appears in the context of string theory, but has largely been unexplored in the context of cosmo…
