Description

Preheating stage after inflation can cause a significant effect of graviton production. These gravitons at high frequencies can contribute to the dark radiation component which is constrained from CMB data. Gravitons at lower frequencies would produce an inevitable stochastic gravitational wave background which may be probed in future ground-based and space-based detectors. We show that out of equilibrium effects during reheating can enhance the graviton production.
