Abstract
Weyl spin 1/2 fermions, when minimally coupled to Einstein’s gravity, cannot be produced purely gravitationally in an expanding universe at tree level. However, this picture changes at the gravitational 1-loop level in the presence of cosmic perturbations, leading to a new and unavoidable mechanism for gravitational particle production. In this talk, I will explore the theory and phenomenological implications of this new effect.
Series This talk is part of the Cosmology Lunch series.
