Motivations Scalar Decay: important role in cosmology e.g. inflaton, moduli fields
Decay of Scalar reheating of the universe
Unwanted particles may be produced at the same time.
“Gravitino”– Gravitinos produced in thermal bath during reheating– Gravitinos produced directly by scalar decay

Cosmological Moduli Problem
• Coherent oscillation of moduli fields would dominate the energy density of the universe.
• Late decay reheating of the universe– If mass is TeV, the reheat temperature is too low << 1
MeV !
disaster for big-bang nucleosynthesis (BBN)
Hope: may be OK if moduli is heavy

heavy moduli?
Heavy moduli seem to be naturally realized in some supersymmetric models,
such as KKLT-type model.
This observation motivates us to investigate moduli decay (and heavy scalar decay in general) very carefully.

Decay into fermion pair/sfermion pair
• two body decay:– use of eqs. of motion:suppressed by small fermion/sfermion masses
• three body decay e.g.– no mass suppression – suppression from gauge couplings & phase space int

For moduli, we expect d3/2 of order unity.
Decay amplitude into helicity ½ is enhanced ~1/m3/2
no such enhancement for helicity 3/2

The case we consider…
• The heavy scalar X once dominates the universe in the form of coherent oscillation.
• X decay reheats the universe
• Gravitino production– thermal: produced in thermal bath at reheating– non-thermal: produced at X decay
• We will show that the non-thermal gravitino production suffers from very severe cosmological constraints
27
Constraints we consider:
• Unstable gravitino– BBN constraint on the decay of graviitnos, producing
hadronic &EM showers– Constraint on abundance of LSPs produced at graviti
no decay– Constraint on abundance of LSPs produced directly at
X decay
• Stable gravitino– Constraint on gravitino abundance from overclosure– Constraint on free-streaming of graviitno WDM– BBN constraint on decay of NLSPs into graviitnos

• A general case is discussed in Asaka et al
• Here we mainly describe the case of moduli-like field

Asaka-Nakamura-MY 06
32
case of heavy gravitino• Constraint:
– GravitinoLSP – Overabundance of the LSPs
• Relic abundance of the LSPs– LSPs are produced by gravitino decay– Annihilation of LSPs– Annihilation is not very efficient at low temperature (lat
er epoch) lower bound on the graviitno mass
33
case study: LSP=neutral Wino (largest annihilation cross section)
Gravitino mass must beheavier than ~106 GeVto escape overclosureconstraint. (wino case)
Even severer constrainton graviitno mass for other neutralino case
Low energy SUSY maybe disfavored in the presenceof moduli. (unstable gravitino)

Free-streaming of Gravitino Warm Dark Matter
• gravitino: can be warm dark matter– X decay gravitino very energetic– gravitinos loses energy by red-shift, and beco
mes non-relativistic
• Free-streaming of gravitinos: suppresses small scale structure

A solution to cosmological moduli problem
43
Implications to inflation model building
• modular inflation: (inflaton=moduli) severely constrained
• other inflation scenarios– chaotic inflation
Z2 symmetry FX=0: no dangerous gravitino production– new inflation/hybrid inflation
Gravitino production may be suppressed Model dependent analysis is required
Kawasaki-Takahashi-Yanagida 06
44
Conclusions
• Decay of heavy scalar fields was re-examined.– decay into gauginos– decay into gravitinos
• In general, moduli decay into gravitinos is not suppressed. – Recurrence of cosmological moduli/gravitino problem
s in heavy moduli case.
– Unstable gravitino: serious difficulty– Stable graviitno: some allowed region if gravitino is lig
ht and stable.
45
• Implications to inflation model building– modular inflation: seems problematic if graviti
no is unstable
– chaotic/new/hybrid inflations • chance to escape constraints (smaller coupling of i
nflaton to gravitino pair)
