Abstract:
We perform a fully non-linear calculation of the production of supermassive Grand Unified Theory (GUT) XX bosons during preheating, taking into account the fact that they are unstable with a decay width ΓX\Gamma_X. We show that parametric resonance does not develop if ΓX\Gamma_X is larger than about 102mX10^{-2} m_X. We compute the nonthermal number density of superheavy bosons produced in the preheating phase and demonstrate that the observed baryon asymmetry may be explained by GUT baryogenesis after preheating if ΓX\Gamma_X is smaller than about 103mX10^{-3} m_X.
