Primordial black holes from stochastic tunnelling

نویسندگان

چکیده

If the inflaton gets trapped in a local minimum of its potential shortly before end inflation, it escapes by building up quantum fluctuations process known as stochastic tunnelling. In this work we study cosmological produced such scenario, and how likely they are to form Primordial Black Holes (PBHs). This is done using stochastic-$\delta N$ formalism, which allows us reconstruct highly non-Gaussian tails distribution function number $e$-folds spent false-vacuum state. We explore two different toy models, both analytically numerically, order identify properties do or not depend on details profile. find that when barrier small enough compared width, $\Delta V/V < \Delta\phi^2/M_{\text{Pl}}^2$, can be approximated being flat between extrema, so results previously obtained "flat well'' apply. Otherwise, V/M_{\text{Pl}}^4$, PBH abundance depends exponentially height barrier, > V/M_{\text{Pl}}^4$ super-exponentially ( i.e. exponential an exponential) height. later case PBHs massively produced. quantify much inflection points need fine-tuned. deep false vacuum, also slow-roll violations typically encountered unless close linear. motivates further investigations generalise our approach non-slow-roll setups.

Antimatter from Primordial Black Holes

Primordial black holes (PBHs) could have formed in the early universe from the collapse of overdense regions through significant density fluctuations. Their detection nowadays is a great challenge as it could allow both to check the Hawking evaporation mechanism and to probe the early universe on very small scales that remain totally out of the range investigated by CMB or LSS measurements. The...

Neutrinos from primordial black holes.

The emission of particles from black holes created in the early Universe has detectable astrophysical consequences. The most stringent bound on their abundance has been obtained from the absence of a detectable diffuse flux of 100 MeV photons. Further scrutiny of these bounds is of interest as they, for instance, rule out primordial black holes as a dark matter candidate. We here point out that...

Primordial Black Holes

Primordial black holes (PBHs) are a profound signature of primordial cosmological structures and provide a theoretical tool to study nontrivial physics of the early Universe. The mechanisms of PBH formation are discussed and observational constraints on the PBH spectrum, or effects of PBH evaporation, are shown to restrict a wide range of particle physics models, predicting an enhancement of th...

Cosmological Constraints from Primordial Black Holes

Primordial black holes may form in the early Universe, for example from the collapse of large amplitude density perturbations predicted in some inflationary models. Light black holes undergo Hawking evaporation, the energy injection from which is constrained both at the epoch of nucleosynthesis and at the present. The failure as yet to unambiguously detect primordial black holes places importan...

Primordial black holes from cosmic necklaces

Cosmic necklaces are hybrid topological defects consisting of monopoles and strings. We argue that primordial black holes(PBH) may have formed from loops of the necklaces, if there exist stable winding states, such as coils and cycloops. Unlike the standard scenario of PBH formation from string loops, in which it has been suggested that the production ratio f becomes a tiny fraction f ∼ 10−20, ...
