We study the generation of electromagnetic fields in a string-inspired scenario associated with a rolling massive scalar field ϕ on the anti-D3 branes of KKLT de Sitter vacua. The 4-dimensional DBI type effective action naturally gives rise to the coupling between the gauge fields and the inflaton ϕ, which leads to the production of cosmological magnetic fields during inflation due to the breaking of conformal invariance. We find that the amplitude of magnetic fields at decoupling epoch can be larger than the limiting seed value required for the galactic dynamo. We also discuss the mechanism of reheating in our scenario and show that gauge fields are sufficiently enhanced for the modes deep inside the Hubble radius with an energy density greater than that of the inflaton.
