Radiative Production of Non-thermal Dark Matter

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2019-03-27 v1

Abstract

We compare dark matter production from the thermal bath in the early universe with its direct production through the decay of the inflaton. We show that even if dark matter does not possess a direct coupling with the inflaton, Standard Model loop processes may be sufficient to generate the correct relic abundance.
