Abstract
We study particle production at the collision of two domain walls in 5-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. This may provide the reheating mechanism of an ekpyrotic (or cyclic) brane universe, in which two BPS branes collide and evolve into a hot big bang universe. We evaluate a production rate of particles confined to the domain wall. The energy density of created particles is given as [Formula Presented] where [Formula Presented] is a coupling constant of particles to a domain-wall scalar field, [Formula Presented] is the number of bounces at the collision and [Formula Presented] is the fundamental mass scale of the domain wall. It does not depend on the width [Formula Presented] of the domain wall, although the typical energy scale of created particles is given by [Formula Presented]. The reheating temperature is evaluated as [Formula Presented]. In order to have the baryogenesis at the electro-weak energy scale, the fundamental mass scale is constrained as [Formula Presented] for [Formula Presented].
