摘要

We show that the recently reported cosmic gravitational wave background by the NANOGrav 15-year collaboration may be the result of resonant particle creation during inflation. For the appropriate amplitude and particle mass, an enhancement of the primordial scalar power spectrum could induce Secondary Induced Gravitational Waves (SIGW), which will appear on a scale corresponding to the frequency of the NANOGrav detection. Since the resonant creation will have an effect comparable to that of a delta function increment as studied by the NANOGrav 15-year collaboration, our study indicates that the low-frequency Pulsar Timing Array (PTA) data could reveal the aspects of the physics during inflation through the detection of a cosmic background of Gravitational Waves (GW).
