Gravitational waves from graviton bremsstrahlung with kination phase

Gravitational waves (GWs) from gravitational three-body decay (graviton bremsstrahlung process) can leave an indelible signal at ultrahigh frequencies. We focus on a scenario where superheavy particles are produced gravitationally at a transition between the inflationary and kination phases and analyze the detectability of the signal in the presence of GWs generated from the vacuum fluctuations during inflation. We find that, in many cases, GWs from the graviton bremsstrahlung are buried in the stochastic gravitational wave background originating from inflation. However, if the superheavy particles are as heavy as the Planck scale, the graviton bremsstrahlung can produce a sizable amount of GWs, surpassing the inflationary ones.
