Abstract:
We perform a fully non-linear calculation of the production of supermassive Grand Unified Theory (GUT) bosons during preheating, taking into account the fact that they are unstable with a decay width . We show that parametric resonance does not develop if is larger than about . 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 is smaller than about .Note:
