Irreversible Thermodynamic Description of Dark Matter and Radiation Creation during Inflationary Reheating
We investigate matter creation processes during the reheating period of the early Universe, by using the thermodynamic of open systems. The Universe is assumed to consist of the inflationary scalar field, which, through its decay, generates relativistic matter and pressureless dark matter. The infla...
