Abstract
We investigate the possibility of a bosonic preheating in the simplest model
of supersymmetric Hybrid Inflation (F-term inflation), where the inflationary superpotential is of the
O'Raifertaigh-Witten type. The end of inflation is related to a spontaneous
symmetry breaking, which in the context of left-right symmetric models lowers
the rank of the gauge group. Our results indicate that the possibility for
bosonic preheating in this model is limited.
