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…
Creation of spin-3/2 dark matter via cosmological gravitational particle production
Edward W. Kolb, Andrew J. Long, Evan McDonough +1
We study the cosmological gravitational particle production (CGPP) of spin-3/2 particles during and after cosmic inflation, and map the parameter space that can realize the observe…
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…
The Field Theory Axiverse
Stephon Alexander, Tucker Manton, Evan McDonough
Axion and axion-like particles (ALPs) are a prominent candidate for physics beyond the Standard Model, and can play an important role in cosmology, serving as dark matter or dark e…
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…
