Inflationary Baryogenesis Typeset Using Revt E X 2
In this letter we explore the possibility of creating the baryon asymmetry of the universe during inflation and reheating due to the decay of a field associated with the inflaton. CP violation is attained by assuming that this field is complex with a phase that varies as the inflaton evolves. We consider chaotic and natural inflation scenarios. In the former case, the complex decaying field is ...
متن کاملTurning Around the Sphaleron Bound: Electroweak Baryogenesis in an Alternative Post-inflationary Cosmology
The usual sphaleron bound and the statement of the impossibility of baryon production at a second order phase transition or analytic cross-over are reformulated in the first part of the paper as requirements of the expansion rate of the Universe at the electroweak scale. With an (exact or effective) additional contribution to the energy density scaling as 1/a6, which dominates until just before...
متن کاملInflation, Neutrino Baryogenesis, and (S)Neutrino-Induced Baryogenesis
We evaluate the constraints that the COBE observations put on baryogenesis in inflationary cosmologies.We consider the supersymmetric version of the proposal of Fukugita and Yanagida, that the baryon asymmetry of the universe is created by nonperturbative electroweak reprocessing of a lepton asymmetry generated in the decay of heavy right handed see-saw (s)neutrinos. We review our recent propos...
متن کاملGUT, Neutrinos, and Baryogenesis
It is an exciting time for flavor physics. In this talk, I discuss recent topics in baryogenesis and leptogenesis in light of new data, and implications in B and neutrino physics. I also discuss current situation of grand unified theories concerning coupling unification, proton decay, and indirect consequences in lepton flavor violation and B physics. I explain attempts to understand the origin...
متن کاملSpectator Processes and Baryogenesis
Spectator processes which are in thermal equilibrium during the period of baryogenesis influence the final baryon asymmetry. We study this effect quantitatively for thermal leptogenesis where we find a suppression by a factor O(1). The cosmological baryon asymmetry is naturally explained by thermal leptogenesis, i.e. the out-of-equilibrium decays of heavy Majorana neutrinos [1]. This mechanism ...
