Fields Annihilation and Particles Creation in DBI inflation

Firouzjahi, Hassan, Khoeini-Moghaddam, Salomeh

Understand

We consider a model of DBI inflation where two stacks of mobile branes are moving ultra relativistically in a warped throat.

  • The stack closer to the tip of the throat is annihilated with the background anti-branes while inflation proceeds by the second stack.
  • The effects of branes annihilation and particles creation during DBI inflation on the curvature perturbations power spectrum and the scalar spectral index are studied.
  • We show that for super-horizon scales, modes which are outside the sound horizon at the time of branes collision, the spectral index has a shift to blue spectrum compared to the standard DBI inflation.
