6 pages, 4 figures. Contribution to the 2024 Electroweak session of the 58th Rencontres de Moriond. Based on Refs. arXiv:2301.11345, arXiv:2305.16388 and arXiv:2311.12694
In this talk, based on arXiv:2301.11345, arXiv:2305.16388, arXiv:2311.12694, we discuss the production of primordial gravitational waves (GW) sourced by graviton bremsstrahlung during inflationary reheating. For reheating, we consider inflaton decays and annihilations into pairs of bosons or fermions, assuming an inflaton $ϕ$ that oscillates around a generic monomial potential $V(ϕ) \propto ϕ^n$. The GW spectrum exhibits distinct features depending on the underlying reheating dynamics, which is controlled by the inflaton potential and the type of coupling between the inflaton and the matter fields. We show that the produced stochastic GW background could be probed in next-generation GW detectors, especially at high frequencies. We further highlight the potential of bremsstrahlung-induced GW to probe the underlying dynamics of reheating.
