Inflation from High-Scale Supersymmetry Breaking
Valerie Domcke, Kai Schmitz
Supersymmetry breaking close to the scale of grand unification can explain cosmic inflation. As we demonstrate in this paper, this can be achieved in strongly coupled supersymmetri…
PBH dark matter from axion inflation
Valerie Domcke, Francesco Muia, Mauro Pieroni +1
Protected by an approximate shift symmetry, axions are well motivated candidates for driving cosmic inflation. Their generic coupling to the Chern-Simons term of any gauge theory g…
Detection prospects for the Cosmic Neutrino Background using laser interferometers
Valerie Domcke, Martin Spinrath
The cosmic neutrino background is a key prediction of Big Bang cosmology which has not been observed yet. The movement of the earth through this neutrino bath creates a force on a…
Unified Model of D-Term Inflation
Valerie Domcke, Kai Schmitz
Hybrid inflation, driven by a Fayet-Iliopoulos (FI) D term, is an intriguing inflationary model. In its usual formulation, it however suffers from several shortcomings. These perta…
