Reheating constraints in Instant Preheating

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2023-06-21 v2 High Energy Physics - Theory

Abstract

We use Instant Preheating as a mechanism to reheat the universe when its evolution is modeled by a non-oscillating background. Once we obtain the reheating temperature, we calculate the number of e-folds using two different methods, which allows us to establish a relationship between the reheating temperature and the spectral index of scalar perturbations. We explore this connection to constrain the spectral index for different Quintessential Inflation models.
