PREHEATING THE UNIVERSE AFTER INFLATION

Inflationary stage is followed by particle production in the background of an oscillating inflaton field, which process is called preheating. For sufficiently strong couplings between the inflaton and matter fields, it is known to proceed non-perturbatively, with parametric resonance playing crucial...
