Abstract: (APS)
We calculate the gravitino production rate, computing its one-loop thermal self-energy. Gravitino production processes that do not result through thermal cuts of its self-energy, have been identified and taken into account. Correcting analytical errors and numerical approximations in the previous calculations, we present our result. This deviates from the latest estimation by almost 10%. More importantly, we provide a convenient formula, for calculating the gravitino production rate and its thermal abundance, as a function of the reheating temperature of the Universe.Note:
