研究成果概要
In supergravity inflation models, a supersymmetry breaking fermion called Goldstino plays an important role to realize accelerated expansion of the Universe. It was pointed out by Dall'Agata et al. that Goldstino may form a condensation, which leads to instability to the system and successful expansion of the Universe would not occur. With Kallosh, Linde, Wrase, I showed that such condensation of Goldstino is unphysical and clarified the problem of the analysis the authors took in their paper. We have reported our result in Journal of High Energy Physics.
With Taya, I have also discussed the particle scattering process in the very early Universe. In particular, just after inflation, the Universe is filled with scalar field condensate, and particles coupled to the condensate can be produced from "vacuum". We have considered the scattering processes of such particles to other light particles. We have found that due to the absence of energy conservation, parent particle produced from vacuum can decay into very light particles, which is kinematically forbidden in the standard scattering process. Interestingly, it turned out that such a kinematically forbidden process is more efficient than the kinematically allowed decay. We have reported our result at PASCOS 2022, JPS meeting and Journal of High Energy Physics.
