We explicitly calculate nonthermal gravitino production during the preheating period in the inflationary Universe. Contrary to earlier investigations, we consider a two--field model to separate the mechanisms of supersymmetry breaking and inflation. We show that the superpartner of the inflaton is significantly generated, while the gravitino production is considerably smaller. Nonthermal production of gravitinos seems thus less worrisome than recently claimed.

Gravitino Freeze-In Dark Matter with an Additional Scalar Field
An additional scalar field dilutes gravitino freeze-in dark matter for matter-like equations of state, permitting larger reheating temperatures consistent with leptogenesis.
