Preheating and Thermalization after Inflation
After a short review of inlationary preheating, we discuss the development of equilibrium in the frameworks of massless $\lambda \Phi^4$ model. It is shown that the process is characterised by the appearance of Kolmogorov spectra and the evolution towards thermal equilibrium follows self-similar dyn...

description | After a short review of inlationary preheating, we discuss the development of equilibrium in the frameworks of massless $\lambda \Phi^4$ model. It is shown that the process is characterised by the appearance of Kolmogorov spectra and the evolution towards thermal equilibrium follows self-similar dynamics. Simplified kinetic theory gives values for all characteristic exponents which are close to what is observed in lattice simulations. This allows estimation of the resulting reheating temperature. |
