Title: Inflationary Schwinger dark matter production

Presented by: Roberto Vega-Morales

Ref: https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.15137v1

Abstract:

I will present and inflationary Schwinger dark matter production mechanism which leads to a (non-thermal) multi-component dark matter sector comprised of some mixture, depending on masses and the Hubble scale, of dark vectors, dark charged scalars, and/or dark fermions. Along the way I will give an overview of particle production during inflation and discuss phenomenological implications of this multi-component dark sector.
