Event Description
Particle production takes important rolls in the early universe, such as during inflation, preheating and reheating eras. I discuss particle production of many scalars or gauge bosons as slow roll mechanism. In particular, the effect is exponentially enhanced by cascade decays. Also, such particle production can be relevant to a recent idea, cosmological relaxion mechanism, for trapping and reheating aspects.
