Reheating process in the R 2 inflationary model with the baryogenesis scenario

Abstract

Abstract Post-inflationary evolution and (re)heating of the viable inflationary model, the R 2 one, is made more realistic by including the leptogenesis scenario into it. For this purpose, right-handed Majorana neutrinos with a large mass are added to the matter sector of the Standard Model to explain the neutrino oscillation experiments and the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. We have found parameters that characterize this model: non-minimal coupling of the Higgs field ξ, the mass of the right-handed Majorana neutrino MN α and the Yukawa coupling matrix components for the right-handed Majorana neutrino. We have analyzed the effect of these parameters on the reheating process and leptogenesis in this model and how they affect the resultant physical quantities: spectral parameters of primordial perturbations and baryon asymmetry.
