On the Role of Cosmological Gravitational Particle Production in Baryogenesis

Published 9 Apr 2024 in hep-ph, astro-ph.CO, and gr-qc | (2404.06530v1)

Abstract: We investigate the generation of the baryon asymmetry within the framework of cosmological gra-vi-ta-tional particle production, employing the Bogoliubov approach. We examine two well-known baryogenesis scenarios, namely baryogenesis in Grand Unified Theories (GUT) and leptogenesis, while considering reheating temperatures sufficiently low for thermal processes to be negligible. Considering $\alpha-$attractor T-models for the inflaton potential, we demonstrate that GUT baryogenesis from scalar decays can be successful across a large range of conformal couplings with gravity, without necessitating substantial levels of CP violation. In the case of leptogenesis, we find that the reheating temperature should be $T_{\rm RH}\lesssim 10{6}~{\rm GeV}$ for right-handed neutrino masses $M_1 \lesssim 6 \times 10{12}~{\rm GeV}$ to generate the observed asymmetry.
