Title: | SUSY in the sky --Stochastic gravitational waves from spin 3/2 particles |
Room: | 55N-02-Conference Room of Dept. of Appl. Phys. and Dept. of Phys. |
Quantum system with wavefunction varying non-adiabatically can emit
gravitational waves. This usually happens during the preheating where
particles are produced from a coherently oscillating scalar. The signals
are related to the spin of particles. We use spin 3/2 Rarita-Schwinger
action as the sources whose occupation number concentrated within a
Fermi-sphere $k_F$. The signals turn out to be much stronger than the one
from spin 1/2. Near the peak, the gravitational wave spectrum has a
peculiar scaling of $k^5$, which could be the smoking gun signals for spin
3/2 particles. The corresponding frequency is still too high and calls for
the ultra-high frequency gravitational wave detectors in the future.
