Charge Generation in the Oscillating Background

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-31 v1 Astrophysics

Abstract

The preheating after the inflation, which can be interpreted as particle creation in the oscillating inflaton background, provides a state far from thermal equilibrium. We extend the field theoretical treatment of the preheating by Linde et al. to the case of multicomponent complex scalars to show that some charges are created in this process, if C and CP are violated. A new possibility of baryogenesis based on this mechanism is also discussed.
