Dark matter production during the thermalization era
Abstract
We revisit the non-thermal dark matter (DM) production during the thermalization and reheating era after inflation. The decay of inflaton produces high-energy particles that are thermalized to complete the reheating of the Universe. Before the thermalization is completed, DM can be produced from a collision between the high-energy particles and/or the ambient plasma. We calculate the DM abundance produced from these processes for the case where the cross section of the DM production is proportional to the $$n$$-th power of the center of mass energy. We find that the collision between the high-energy particles is almost always dominant for $$n \gtrsim 4$$ while it is subdominant for $$n \lesssim 2$$. The production from the ambient plasma is dominant when $$n \lesssim 3$$ and the reheating temperature is of the order of or larger than the DM mass. The production from a collision between the high-energy particle and the ambient plasma is important for $$n \lesssim 2$$ and the reheating temperature is much lower than the DM mass.
