Title: Productive interactions: heavy particles and non-Gaussianity

Abstract

We study some observational consequences on the theory of inflation that particles with an high mass that could be produced during that phase, could have.

Figure 1 Figure 1: Pictorial representation of our findings: in an inflationary theory with an approximate continuous shift symmetry for the inflaton, only particles that are not much heavier than the Hubble scale H are relevant for the dynamics of the fluctuations. However, as we will see, if the continuous shift symmetrymore » is broken, e.g. to a discrete shift symmetry, heavier particles can become relevant as depicted on the right. In the scenarios studied in this work, the new scale is set by Φ. The basic estimate exp(−πm2/Φ) ∼ 1/√Nmodes suggests observational sensitivity to these massive particles, which we confirm in a detailed analysis.« less
