There are two processes of matter creation after inflation that may be relevant to the resolution of the puzzle of cosmic rays observed with energies beyond GZK cut-off: 1) gravitational creation of superheavy (quasi)stable particles, and 2) non-thermal phase transitions leading to formation of topological defects. We review both possibilities.

Nonthermal leptogenesis via cosmological gravitational particle production is tested by inflationary gravitational waves
Certain inflation models produce right-handed neutrinos via gravitational effects sufficient for leptogenesis to explain the baryon asymmetry, testable by inflationary gravitational waves.

Searching for EeV photons with Telescope Array Surface Detector and neural networks
Telescope Array reports upper limits on EeV photon flux of <2.3e-3 above 10^19 eV and <3.0e-4 above 10^20 eV using a neural network classifier fine-tuned on experimental data.
