Nucleosynthesis Constraints on Defect-mediated Electroweak Baryogenesis
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the defect-mediated electroweak baryogenesis scenario, baryons are produced in well separated regions of space. It is shown that between the electroweak phase transition at a temperature of T ∼ 100GeV and the end of nucleosynthesis at T ∼ 1KeV the baryon inhomogeneities dissipate, and that no constraints on defect-mediated electroweak baryogenesis can be derived from considerations of inhomogeneous nucleosynthesis.

Electroweak baryogenesis mediated by locally supersymmetry-breaking defects
We consider the scenario of electroweak baryogenesis mediated by cosmological defect in models of supersymmetry breaking. When the effective electroweak breaking scale is raised in the defect configuration, the mechanism of electroweak baryogenesis works at a higher energy scale. The baryon charge produced by the mechanism is captured in the defect. It is protected from sphalerons and then rele...
متن کاملBaryon/anti-baryon inhomogeneity and big bang nucleosynthesis
We investigate the effects of baryon/anti-baryon inhomogeneity on primordial nucleosynthesis. Recent work claims that electroweak baryogenesis could give rise to distinct regions of net baryon and anti-baryon number, which could survive until the nucleosynthesis epoch. We discuss neutron diffusion effects on nucleosynthesis yields in these models and speculate on the prospects for obtaining con...
متن کاملOn Constraining Electroweak-baryogenesis with Inhomogenous Primordial Nucleosynthesis
Primordial nucleosynthesis calculations are shown to be able to provide constraints on models of electroweak baryogenesis which produce a highly inhomogeneous distribution of the baryon-to-photon ratio. Such baryogenesis scenarios overproduce He and/or Li and can be ruled out whenever a fraction f ∼ 3 × 10(100 GeV/T ) of nucleated bubbles of broken-symmetry phase contributes > ∼ 10% of the bary...
متن کاملDefect-mediated electroweak baryogenesis and hierarchy
We consider the scenario of electroweak baryogenesis mediated by cosmological defects, in models for dynamical supersymmetry breaking and extra dimensions. When the electroweak breaking scale is enhanced in the defect, it protects the baryon charge from sphaleron wash-out throughout the evolution of the Universe, until baryon number violating processes become harmless. We also consider the doma...
متن کاملDynamical Breaking of Cpt and Baryogenesis
The asymmetry between matter and antimatter in the Universe indicates that there was a period in the very early Universe when the CPT symmetry was broken. The conservative interpretation is that this CPT breaking was dynamical, induced by the distinguished direction of time stemming from the cosmological expansion. Here, I review the role which topological defect networks may play in baryogenes...
