• Mauro Pieroni (Imperial) on 20th Nov 2019 1:00:pm || Title: Constraining axion inflation with gravitational waves from preheating || Abstract: Models in which a pseudoscalar inflaton (axion) is coupled to the Chern-Simons density are of particular theoretical and phenomenological interest. The coupling between the inflaton and some (Abelian) gauge fields induces an instability which gives rise to a wide range of potentially observable...
