Baryogenesis in the wake of inflation
نویسنده
چکیده
Electroweak baryogenesis could be very efficient at the end of an electroweakscale inflation. Reheating that followed inflation could create a highly nonequilibrium plasma, in which the baryon number violating transitions were rapid. In addition, the time-dependent motions of the scalar degrees of freedom could provide the requisite CP violation. If the final reheat temperature was below 100 GeV, there was no wash-out of the baryon asymmetry after thermalization. The observed value of the baryon asymmetry can be attained in a number of models, some of which do not require a significant departure from the Standard Model.

Baryogenesis, Inflation and Superstrings
We study the conditions for successful Affleck–Dine baryogenesis in generic inflation and supergravity scenarios, finding powerful restrictions on them. String-based SUGRA models are especially interesting since they are surprisingly suitable for the implementation not only of AD baryogenesis but also inflation itself, presenting a nice solution to the η–problem.
متن کاملBaryogenesis in Fresh inflation
I study the possibility of baryogenesis can take place in fresh inflation. I find that it is possible that violation of baryon number conservation can occur during the period out-of-equilibrium in this scenario. Indeed, baryogenesis could be possible in the range of times (109 − 1012) G1/2, before the thermal equilibrium is restored at the end of fresh inflation.
متن کاملSpontaneous baryogenesis in warm inflation
We discuss spontaneous baryogenesis in the warm inflation scenario. In contrast with standard inflation models, radiation always exists in the warm inflation scenario, and the inflaton must be directly coupled to it. Also, the transition to the post-inflationary radiation dominated phase is smooth and the entropy is not significantly increased at the end of the period of inflation. In addition,...
متن کاملAffleck-Dine baryogenesis after thermal brane inflation
We propose a new scenario of Affleck-dine baryogenesis in the context of theories with large extra dimensions. In this paper we consider baryogenesis after thermal brane inflation and show how our mechanism works. We specifically consider models in which supersymmetry is broken at the distant brane.
متن کاملQuintessence, inflation and baryogenesis from a single pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson
We exhibit a model in which a single pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson explains dark energy, inflation and baryogenesis. The model predicts correlated signals in future collider experiments, WIMP searches, proton decay experiments, dark energy probes, and the PLANCK satellite CMB measurements.
