Identifying the curvaton within MSSM

چکیده
We consider inflaton couplings to MSSM flat directions and the thermalization of the inflaton decay products, taking into account gauge symmetry breaking due to flat direction condensates. We then search for a suitable curvaton candidate among the flat directions, requiring an early thermally induced start for the flat direction oscillations to facilitate the necessary curvaton energy density dominance. We demonstrate that the supersymmetry breaking A-term is crucial for achieving a successful curvaton scenario. Among the many possible candidates, we identify the u1dd flat direction as a viable MSSM curvaton. Identifying the curvaton within MSSM 2

Minimal supersymmetric standard model flat direction as a curvaton
We study in detail the possibility that the flat directions of the minimal supersymmetric standard model ~MSSM! could act as a curvaton and generate the observed adiabatic density perturbations. For that the flat direction energy density has to dominate the Universe at the time when it decays. We point out that this is not possible if the inflaton decays into MSSM degrees of freedom. If the inf...
متن کاملMSSM curvaton in the gauge - mediated SUSY breaking
We study the curvaton scenario using the MSSM flat directions in the gauge-mediated SUSY breaking model. We find that the fluctuations in the both radial and phase directions can be responsible for the density perturbations in the universe through the curvaton mechanism. Although it has been considered difficult to have a successful curvaton scenario with the use of those flat directions, it is...
متن کاملCurvatons in the minimally supersymmetric standard model
Curvaton is an effectively massless field whose energy density during inflation is negligible but which later becomes dominant. This is a novel mechanism to generate the scale invariant perturbations. I discuss the possibility that the curvaton could be found among the fields of the minimally supersymmetric standard model (MSSM), which contains a number of flat directions along which the renorm...

The cosmological curvature perturbation may be generated when some ‘curvaton’ field, different from the inflaton, oscillates in a background of unperturbed radiation. In its simplest form the curvaton paradigm requires the Hubble parameter during inflation to be bigger than 10 GeV, but this bound may be evaded if the curvaton field (or an associated tachyon) is strongly coupled to a field which...
