# Gravitino Production after Inflation in No-Scale Supergravity

## TL;DR

This paper investigates gravitino production after inflation within a No-Scale Supergravity framework, analyzing supersymmetry breaking, preheating, and their implications for early universe cosmology.

## Contribution

It introduces a model where supersymmetry breaking is driven solely by the inflaton superfield, with detailed estimates of gravitino production and preheating temperature.

## Key findings

- Primordial gravitinos decay rapidly, minimizing impact on BBN.
- Preheating temperature is below gravitino mass, reducing cosmological issues.
- Model remains phenomenologically viable despite potential tachyonic states.

## Abstract

By using a No-Scale Supergravity model, which was proved to explain WMAP observations appropriately, a mechanism of supersymmetry breaking and a preheating just after the end of inflation are investigated. Non-thermal production rate of gravitino is estimated as well as supersymmetry breaking mechanism numerically. The supersymmetry breaking is triggered by the inflaton superfield alone and the interchange of supersymmetry breaking fields does not occur in our model. By the instant preheating mechanism, the preheating temperature is calculated through the process where the inflaton decays into right handed sneutrinos, which will decay into Higgs fields and others. The obtained value of the yield variable for gravitino is rather large, however, the primordial gravitinos decay very rapidly and the preheating temperature is lower than the gravitino mass, the effect to the standard Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) scenario is negligible. Though a tachyonic state seems to appear from modular field T, it will be solved by assuming the spontaneous breaking of modular invariance. Whether or not the fact is a defect, we emphasize that the model still seems phenomenologically effective.
