Abstract: In this work, we investigate the preheating mechanism after inflation in general scalar-tensor theories of gravity. In the present scenario, we consider two-field scenario and then derive the potential of exponential and hyperbolic tangent forms. We study the evolution of the background system when the back reaction on the background field is neglected. We examine the particle production due to parametric resonances in both models. We find that in Minkowski space the stage of parametric resonances can be described by the Mathieu equation. Finally, we demonstrate that parametric resonances in our models are sufficiently broad possible for the exponential growth of the number of particles.
