Baryogenesis from a Primordial Lepton Asymmetry

چکیده
Abstract We examine the generation of baryon asymmetry at the weak scale from a primordial lepton asymmetry. If the electroweak phase transition is first order, partial reflection of tau leptons off the bubble walls and the resulting hypercharge transport into the symmetric phase, gives rise to a baryon number consistent with observation.We examine the generation of baryon asymmetry at the weak scale from a primordial lepton asymmetry.

The Νmsm, Leptonic Asymmetries, and Properties of Singlet Fermions
We study in detail the mechanism of baryon and lepton asymmetry generation in the framework of the νMSM (an extension of the Standard Model by three singlet fermions with masses smaller than the electroweak scale). We elucidate the issue of CP-violation in the model and define the phase relevant for baryogenesis. We clarify the question of quantum-mechanical coherence, essential for the lepton ...
متن کاملElectroweak Baryogenesis and Constraints on Left-handed Majorana Neutrino Masses
The lepton number violating interactions generated by the light Majorana neutrinos can erase the primordial baryon asymmetry of the universe during the electroweak phase transition. The Majorana masses of the left-handed neutrinos are constrained to avoid this problem. These constraints do not depend on the (B−L) symmetry breaking mechanism. 1 e-mail address : [email protected]
متن کاملSterile neutrino dark matter and low scale leptogenesis from a charged scalar
We show that novel paths to dark matter generation and baryogenesis are open when the standard model is extended with three sterile neutrinos [Formula: see text] and a charged scalar [Formula: see text]. Specifically, we propose a new production mechanism for the dark matter particle-a multi-keV sterile neutrino, [Formula: see text]-that does not depend on the active-sterile mixing angle and do...
متن کاملBaryogenesis via lepton-number-violating scalar interactions.
We study baryogenesis through lepton number violation in left-right symmetric models. In these models the lepton number and CP violating interactions of the triplet higgs scalars can give rise to lepton number asymmetry through non-equilibrium decays of the SU(2)L triplet higgs and the right handed neutrinos. This in turn generates baryon asymmetry during the electroweak anomalous processes. Co...
متن کاملPrimordial Black Hole Baryogenesis
We reconsider the possibility that the observed baryon asymmetry was generated by the evaporation of primordial black holes that dominated the early universe. We present a simple derivation showing that the baryon asymmetry is insensitive to the initial black hole density and the cosmological model but is sensitive to the temperature-dependence of the CP and baryon-violating (or lepton-violatin...
