Abstract

We investigate the impact of preheating on baryogenesis in R2-Higgs inflation. In this scenario, the inclusion of a dimension-six operator (R/Λ2)BμνB˜μν abundantly generates helical hypermagnetic fields during inflation, leading to a baryon asymmetric Universe at the electroweak crossover. Focusing on the R2-like regime, we first derive the relevant dynamics of preheating using a doubly covariant formalism. We find that preheating can happen for the Higgs, transverse gauge, and Goldstone bosons, however, it is dependent on the value of the nonminimal coupling ξH between the Standard Model Higgs field and the Ricci scalar. We identify the preheating temperature to determine the appropriate scale Λ for driving baryogenesis, which is around Λ∼2.2(2.6)×10−5MP for ξH∼1(10). Our results represent the most accurate estimation of the scale of gravity induced baryogenesis in R2-Higgs inflation to date. Areas for further improvement are identified.
