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.

  1. Seesaw reheating

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    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.

  2. CosmoLattice 2.0

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    CosmoLattice 2.0 adds non-minimally coupled scalars, axion-gauge interactions, defect initial conditions, lower-dimensional lattices, and GPU acceleration to an open-source early-universe lattice code.

  3. CosmoLattice 2.0

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    CosmoLattice v2.0 extends lattice cosmology simulations with non-minimal scalars, ALP–gauge couplings, defect networks, low-storage RK integrators, optimized GWs, and O(10) GPU speedups.

  4. Seesaw reheating

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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...

  5. Asymmetric Reheating of Dark QED

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    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...

  6. Fermion (non)reheating with a quartic inflaton potential

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

  7. The art of simulating the early Universe. Part III: Scalar-Gauge-Fluid Dynamics

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    Detailed continuum-to-lattice schemes are given for perfect/imperfect fluids alone or coupled to scalars/gauges in FLRW, enabling self-consistent CosmoLattice simulations of early-Universe plasma dynamics and GWs.

  8. Preheating and oscillon formation in Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity

    gr-qc 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    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.

  9. When direct detection constrains reheating temperature: freeze-in with stronger couplings and inflaton-seeded freeze-in

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    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.

    Analytic approximations for fermion number density in λφ⁴ preheating scale as q^{1/2} for q ≲ 0.01 and q^{3/4} for q ≳ 10, with resonance peaks or half-filled Fermi spheres depending on the coupling.

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    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.
