Electroweak Baryogenesis with Electroweak Strings
نویسندگان
چکیده
If stable electroweak strings are copiously produced during the electroweak phase transition, they may contribute significantly to the presently observed baryon to entropy ratio of the universe. This analysis establishes the feasibility of implementing an electroweak baryogenesis scenario without a first order phase transition.

Electroweak Baryogenesis with Cosmic Strings? Electroweak Baryogenesis with Cosmic Strings?
I report on a critical analysis of the scenario of electroweak baryoge-nesis mediated by nonsuperconducting cosmic strings. This mechanism relies upon electroweak symmetry restoration in a region around cosmic strings, where sphalerons would be unsuppressed. I discuss the various problems this scenario has to face, presenting a careful computation of the sphaleron rates inside the strings, of t...
متن کاملBaryogenesis from Cosmic Strings at the Electroweak Scale
We demonstrate the viability of baryogenesis from light scalar decays after the electroweak phase transition. A hidden fourth generation of quarks and leptons is used to introduce extra CP violations to the standard model. A simple extension of the standard model is constructed in which cosmic strings are formed at the electroweak phase transition. These strings decay into colored scalars which...

متن کاملIs baryon number violated when electroweak strings intercommute?
We reexamine the self-helicity and the intercommutation of electroweak strings. A plausible argument for baryon number conservation when electroweak strings intercommute is presented. The connection between a segment of electroweak string and a sphaleron is also discussed. ⋆ Address after Sep. 1: School of Natural Sciences, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, NJ 08540 One of the most basic...
متن کاملEffect of Quark Scatter on Baryogenesis by Electroweak Strings
The amount of baryon asymmetry generated by the electroweak strings at a rough estimate is smaller than that generated by the bubble expansion since the strings cannot cover the whole volume of the universe. However, the interaction cross section of the strings with particles can be larger than the geometrical area of the order of the string thickness. The scattering cross section of quarks fro...
