Thermal background can solve the cosmological moduli problem

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v4

Abstract

It is shown that the coherent field oscillation of moduli fields with weak or TeV scale masses can dissipate its energy efficiently if they have a derivative coupling to standard bosonic fields in a thermal state. This mechanism may provide a new solution to the cosmological moduli problem in some special situations.
