Thermal blocking of preheating
Rose Lerner, Anders Tranberg
The parametric resonance responsible for preheating after inflation will end when self-interactions of the resonating field and interactions of this field with secondary degrees of…
Quantifying the 'naturalness' of the curvaton model
Rose N. Lerner, Scott Melville
We investigate the probability of obtaining an observable curvature perturbation, using as an example the minimal curvaton-higgs (MCH) model. We determine 'probably observable' and…
The minimal curvaton-higgs model
Kari Enqvist, Rose N. Lerner, Tomo Takahashi
We present the first full study of the minimal curvaton-higgs (MCH) model, which is a minimal interpretation of the curvaton scenario with one real scalar coupled to the standard m…
Reheating dynamics affects non-perturbative decay of spectator fields
Kari Enqvist, Rose N. Lerner, Stanislav Rusak
The behaviour of oscillating scalar spectator fields after inflation depends on the thermal background produced by inflaton decay. Resonant decay of the spectator is often blocked…
Curvaton Decay by Resonant Production of the Standard Model Higgs
Kari Enqvist, Daniel G. Figueroa, Rose N. Lerner
We investigate in detail a model where the curvaton is coupled to the Standard Model higgs. Parametric resonance might be expected to cause a fast decay of the curvaton, so that it…
Electrically charged curvaton
Michela D'Onofrio, Rose N. Lerner, Arttu Rajantie
We consider the possibility that the primordial curvature perturbation was generated through the curvaton mechanism from a scalar field with an electric charge, or precisely the St…
