We discuss the possibility of unifying dark matter physics and inflation in the Z
5
model of the two-component dark matter. Inflation driven by the two-component dark matter fields
can be divided into two cases, singlet dark matter inflation and mixed dark matter inflation,
where both two-component play the role of inflaton in the latter case. For dark matter, we focus
on the mixed dark matter inflation case. We show a viable parameter space that satisfies the
theoretical and dark matter relic density constraint in the case of successful inflation. It turns
out that the dark matter density is dominated by the light component, which is consistent with the
feature of the Z
5 model of the two-component dark matter.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
