We consider the production of dark matter during the process of reheating after inflation. The relic density of dark matter from freeze-in depends on both the energy density and energy distribution of the inflaton scattering or decay products composing the radiation bath. We compare the perturbative and non-perturbative calculations of the energy density in radiation. We also consider the (likely) possibility that the final state scalar products are unstable. Assuming either thermal or non-thermal energy distribution functions, we compare the resulting relic density based on these different approaches. We show that the present-day cold dark matter density can be obtained through freeze-in from preheating for a large range of dark matter masses.

Seesaw reheating
Reheating temperature is controlled by the lifetime and relativistic-to-nonrelativistic transition of an intermediate seesaw scalar, not by the inflaton decay width, yielding simple analytical expressions for TRH.

Seesaw reheating
A long-lived seesaw scalar, not the inflaton, can set the reheating temperature: T_RH ~ sqrt(Gamma_S M_P), with a time-dilation-suppressed low-temperature plateau and a relativistic-to-nonrelativistic transition of th...

Asymmetric Reheating of Dark QED
Asymmetric reheating in Dark QED produces dark matter via a new channel where DM particles annihilate while still being created by inflaton decay, with the hidden-to-visible temperature ratio tied to the square root o...

Fermion (non)reheating with a quartic inflaton potential
In the quartic T-model, inflaton decay to fermions is strongly suppressed by Pauli blocking and parametric resonance, so fermion-only reheating is effectively impossible unless y ≳ 0.2 or a scalar channel is added.

Preheating and oscillon formation in Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity
Simulations in Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity show oscillons form with similar properties to standard cases but trigger EFT breakdown for large couplings via high local curvatures.

When direct detection constrains reheating temperature: freeze-in with stronger couplings and inflaton-seeded freeze-in
Stronger couplings or inflaton-seeded initial abundance allow freeze-in dark matter to match the relic density while evading DAMIC-M and PandaX bounds for reheating temperatures below the electroweak scale.

Thermal effects on Dark Matter production during cosmic reheating
Thermal corrections to reheating and freeze-in DM production rates are generally small in the computable regime but can be large in constructed counter-examples.
