R2-term was suggested by V.Ts. Gurovich and A.A. Starobinsky forelimination of cosmological singularity (JETP 50 (1979) 844).
It was found that the the addition of the R2-term leads to inflationarycosmology. (A. A. Starobinsky, Phys. Lett. B91, 99 (1980))
Curvature R(t) can be considered as an effective scalar field (scalaron) with themass m and with the decay width Γ.

At some stage R starts to oscillate efficiently producing particlesIt commemorates the end of inflation, the heating of the universe, and thetransition from the accelerated expansion (inflation) to a de-accelerated one.The latter resembles the usual Friedmann matter dominated expansionregime but differs in many essential features.

Cosmological history in R2-gravity: 4 distinct epoch
1 An exponential (inflationary) expansion: the universe was void and dark
with slowly decreasing curvature scalar R(t). The initial value of R should be
quite large to ensure sufficiently long inflation.
2 Scalaron dominated epoch: R dropped down to 0 and started to oscillatearound it. The curvature oscillations resulted in the onset of creation ofusual matter, which remains subdominant.
During this time the universe evolution was quite different from GR one.
It opens the window for heavy LSPs to be the cosmological DM, modifies hightemperature baryogenesis, leads to reconsideration of PBHs formation, etc.
3 Transition period to GR: the oscillations of all relevant quantities damps downexponentially and the particle production by curvature becomes negligible.GR is recovered when the energy density of matter becomes larger than the energydensity of the exponentially decaying scalaron.This transition is delayed: not at Γt ∼ 1, but at Γt ∼ ln (mPl/mR)
4 After that we arrive to the conventional cosmology governed by GR.

DM candidates
Dark matter:
electrically neutral, since doesn’t scatter light
properties are practically unknown
Particles of many different types can be DM candidates.
Very popular candidate: Lightest Supersymmetric Particle (LSP)

T. R. Slatyer, “Indirect Detection of Dark Matter,” arXiv:1710.05137 [hep-ph].
SUSY particles:
Negative results at LHC =⇒ characteristic energy scale higher than 10 TeV.
The cosmological energy density of LSPs %LSP ∼ m2LSP =⇒ for mLSP ∼ 1 Tev
%LSP is of the order of the observed energy density of the universe.
For larger masses LSPs would overclose the universe.
These unfortunate circumstances exclude LSPs as DM particles in theconventional cosmology.

Attempts to save SUSY Dark Matter
Modification of the cosmological scenarios of LSP production in such a waythat the relic density of heavy LSPs would be significantly suppressed:
Non-thermal production of heavy relics (G.L. Kane, P. Kumar, B.D. Nelson, B.Zheng, Phys.Rev. D93 (2016) no.6, 063527)
Assumption: after the freezing of LSP the universe was matter dominated and thisepoch transformed into the radiation dominated stage with low reheatingtemperature (M. Drees, F. Hajkarim, arXiv:1808.05706)
Earlier: At some early stage the universe might be dominated by primordial blackholes which created the necessary amount of entropy to dilute the heavy particlerelics (A. D. Dolgov, P. D. Naselsky, I. D. Novikov, arXiv: astro-ph/0009407)

Our approach
In (R + R2)-gravity the energy density of LSPs may be much lowerthan that in the GR cosmology =⇒ it reopens for them the chance tobe the dark matter.

The energy density of the produced particles depends upon the form of theircoupling to curvature, R(t).
Parker theorem: gravitational production of massless particles in FLRW-metric isabsent in conformally invariant theory.
Massless scalar field with minimal coupling to gravity is not conformally invariant=⇒ The width of the scalaron decay into 2 non-conformal scalars:

Similar suppression factor appears for scalar particles with conformal coupling to gravity.
Much slower decrease of the energy density of matter than normally forrelativistic matter is ensured by the influx of energy from the scalaron decay.
Without energy influx: % ∼ 1/a4(t) ∼ 1/t8/3, since a(t) ∼ t(2/3) at SD.

Some comments
An additional term describing X -particle production by R(t) should beincluded. However, we assume that this channel is suppressed incomparison with inverse annihilation of light particles into XX -pair.
We do not specify which precisely supersymmetric particle is the lightest(it can be, e.g., sneutrino, neutralino or gravitino). We only need the valueof its mass, MX , and the magnitude of the annihilation cross-section.

Since Qs � 1, then xfr is also large, typically xfr ∼ (10− 100) dependingupon the interaction strength.

Energy density of the X -particles
For g∗ = 100, α = 0, 01, βann = 10, mR = 3× 1013 GeV, and nγ = 412/cm3
The present day energy density of the X -particles:
%X = MXnγffin ≈ 1.7× 108
(1010Gev
MX
)keV/cm3
The observed energy density of dark matter: %DM ≈ 1 keV/cm3.
X -particles must have huge mass MX � mR to make reasonable DM density.
However, if MX > mR , then classical scalaron field can still createX -particles, but the probability of their production would be stronglysuppressed =⇒ such LSP with the mass somewhat larger than mR couldsuccessfully make the cosmological dark matter.

Scalaron decay into fermions or conformal scalars
If the bosons are coupled to curvature as ξRφ2 with ξ = 1/6 =⇒they are conformally invariant =⇒ are not produced if their mass is zero.
The probability of production of both bosons and fermions ∼ m2particle
In what follows we confine ourselves to consideration of fermions only.
The width of the scalaron decay into a pair of fermions:
Γf =mRm
2f
48m2Pl
We assume:
The mass of the LSP is considerably smaller than the masses of the otherdecay products, mX < mf , at least as mX ... 0.1mf .
the direct production of X -particles by R(t) can be neglected.
In such a case LSPs are dominantly produced by the secondary reactions in theplasma, which was created by the scalaron production of heavier particles.

If we take mf = 105 GeV and mX = 104 GeV, then %X � %DM .
This energy density should be close to the energy density of thecosmological dark matter, %DM ≈ 1 keV/cm3.

Anomalous decay into gauge bosons
The coupling of the massless gauge bosons to gravity is determined by theanomaly in the trace of energy-momentum tensor of the gauge fields:
Tµµ =
β2α
8πGµνGµν
α is the fine structure constant, Gµν is the gauge field strength
β is the first coefficient in perturbative expansion of the beta-function
Due to this anomaly massless gauge bosons are efficiently produced incosmology:
A. D. Dolgov: “Massless Particle Production By Conformal Plane GravitationField” (in Russian), Pisma Zh. Eksp. Teor. Fiz. 32 (1980) 673; “ConformalAnomaly and the Production of Massless Particles by a Conformally Flat Metric,”Sov. Phys. JETP 54 (1981) 223; “Breaking of conformal invariance andelectromagnetic field generation in the universe,” Phys. Rev. D 48 (1993) 2499
In particular, this coupling leads to the decay of the curvature R(t) intogauge bosons.

Particle production due to conformal anomaly
The decay width of particle production by curvature due to conformal anomaly
D. Gorbunov and A. Tokareva, JCAP 1312 (2013) 021 [arXiv:1212.4466]
is to be compared with the decay widths intominimally coupled massless scalars and fermions:
Γanom =βα2N96π2
m3R
m2Pl
⇐⇒ Γs =m3
R
48m2Pl
⇐⇒ Γf =mRm2
f
48m2Pl
Γanom is suppressed by factor (βα2N)/(2π2) in comparison with Γs , but still is
much larger than the decay width into fermions Γf with e.g. mass mf ∼ 105GeV.
Another route of escape: N = 4 supersymmetry for which beta-functionvanishes and the conformal anomaly is absent.

N = 4 SUSY
N = 4 super Yang-Mills theories:are believed to be unrealistic because they do not allow to introduce chiralfermions, even if the symmetry is broken spontaneously.
Though spontaneous symmetry breaking is the most appealing way to dealwith the theories with broken symmetries, it is not obligatory!
The symmetry can be broken explicitly.
It is possible to break the symmetry ”by hand” introducing different massesto particles in the same multiplet.
This would allow to construct a phenomenologically acceptable model.
Since the symmetry is broken by mass, the theory would remainrenormalizable.
At higher energies, much larger than the particle masses, it would behaveas N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory and at this energy scale the traceanomaly would vanish.

N = 1 and N = 2 SUSY
N = 1 and N = 2 supersymmetric theories:phenomenologically acceptable and possess the so called conformal window=⇒ trace anomaly vanishes with a certain set of the multiplets.
Review:
M. Chaichian, W. F. Chen and C. Montonen, “New superconformal field theories infour-dimensions and N=1 duality,” Phys. Rept. 346 (2001) 89 [hep-th/0007240].
The conformal coupling of scalar fields to gravity postulated above indeedbreaks supersymmetry but supersymmetry is broken anyhow and this kindof breaking does not lead to revival of the conformal anomaly.
Gravitational corrections to the trace anomaly =⇒contribution ∼ RαβµνR
αβµν , RµνRµν , ...
This contribution does not lead to production of gauge bosons.
Higher loop gravitational corrections, even if result in gauge bosonproduction, are strongly suppressed.

Conclusions
Cosmological evolution in R2-theory noticeably differs from the usualFriedmann cosmology.
Energy density of matter in R2-gravity at SD stage drops down as
%R2 =m3
120πtinstead of %GR =
3H2m2Pl
8π=
3M2Pl
32πt2
The canonical relation between temperature of matter and the cosmologicaltime becomes T 4t = CR2 , while usually T 2t = CGR . Here CGR ∼ mPl is auniversal constant, while in R2-cosmology CR2 depends on the model andmay be strongly different for the scalaron decay into bosons or fermions.
In the case of the scalaron decay into scalars LSP can play the role of darkmatter particle if it is very heavy, noticeably heavier than the scalaron.
In the case of the scalaron decay into fermions or conformally coupledscalars the mass of LSP may be at the level of 103 TeV to form DM.
The search for such dark matter particles in low background experimentslooks presently feasible. If they are discovered, it would be an interestingconfirmation of R2 inflationary model.
