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 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Burdening (or not) gravitational waves in the presence of primordial black holes

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A single gravitational wave template combining inflaton and evaporating primordial black hole sources, with and without memory burden, yields new frequency-ratio signatures for testing black hole evaporation.

  5. 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.
