If the reheating temperature at the end of inflation is low, of order 10 MeV, then dark matter produced through ultraviolet freeze-in has a large direct detection cross section. We study such a scenario in which dark matter is hadrophilic. This leads to dark matter-nucleon scattering cross sections of interest for near-future experiments for dark matter masses in the range of 100 keV-100 MeV. We explore how these predictions vary if reheating is non-instantaneous.

  1. Leptogenesis and Low Reheating Temperatures

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0

    Standard non-thermal leptogenesis works at arbitrarily low reheating temperatures above the BBN bound when the inflaton potential has a quartic minimum (k≥4), because the inflaton's evolving mass kinematically shuts o...

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Freeze-in dark matter produced by kaons in low-reheating cosmologies requires larger couplings at lower reheating temperatures, directly linking the relic density to observable rates in rare kaon decay experiments.

    hep-ph 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    A dark U(1)_D model with dark Higgs inflation and low reheating allows dark photon dark matter to achieve the observed relic density for a wider range of couplings, with inflation predictions matching Planck, BICEP/Ke...

  7. Thermal effects on Dark Matter production during cosmic reheating

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    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.

  8. Seasons of Dark Matter Freeze-In Shaped by the Weather of the Early Universe

    hep-ph 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Variations in pre-nucleosynthesis cosmology produce distinct seasons in the phase-space distribution of freeze-in dark matter, directly affecting its warmness and mass bounds.

  9. Neutron stars as thermometers for reheating induced dipole dark matter

    hep-ph 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    Dipole dark matter produced by freeze-out or freeze-in, including entropy dilution from reheating, can be probed via neutron star heating due to momentum-dependent electromagnetic interactions.
