Baryon Asymmetry of Universe : View from Superfluid

چکیده
The origin of the excess of matter over antimatter in our Universe remains one of the fundamental problems. The dynamical baryogenesis in the process of the broken symmetry electroweak transition in the expanding Universe is the widely discussed model where the baryonic asymmetry is induced by the quantum chiral anomaly. We discuss the modelling of this phenomenon in superfluid He and superconductors where the chiral anomaly is realized in the presence of quantized vortex, which introduces the nodes in the energy spectrum of the fermionic quasiparticles. The spectral flow of fermions through the nodes during the vortex motion leads to creation of the fermionic charge from the superfluid vacuum and to transfer of the superfluid linear momentum into the heat bath, thus producing an extra force on the vortex, which in some cases compensates the Magnus force. This spectral-flow force was calculated 20 years ago by Kopnin and Kravtsov for s-wave superconductors, but only recently it was measured in a broad temperature range in Manchester experiments on rotating superfluid He. The ”momentogenesis” observed in He is analogous to the dynamical production of the baryons by cosmic strings. Some other possible scenaria of the baryogenesis related to superfluid He are discussed.

متن کاملElectroweak Baryon Number Violation and Constraints on Left-handed Majorana Neutrino Masses
During a large period of time, the anomalous baryon number violating interactions are in equilibrium, when the (B+L) asymmetry is washed out. If there is any lepton number violation during this period, that will also erase the (B −L) asymmetry. As a result, survival of the baryon asymmetry of the universe pose strong constraints on lepton number violating interactions. We review here the constr...
متن کاملHolography, Charge, and Baryon Asymmetry
The reason for baryon asymmetry in our universe has been an open question for many years. This note shows that the holographic principle requires a charged preon model underlying the Standard Model of particle physics and, in consequence, requires baryon asymmetry. The baryon asymmetry predicted by a specific charged preon model in our closed inflationary Friedmann universe is consistent with o...
متن کاملIs the baryon asymmetry of the Universe related to galactic magnetic fields ?
A tiny hypermagnetic field generated before the electroweak phase transition (EWPT) associated to the generation of elementary particle masses can polarize the early Universe hot plasma at huge redshifts z > ∼ 10. The anomalous violation of the right-handed electron current characteristic of the EWPT converts the lepton asymmetry into a baryon asymmetry. Under reasonable approximations, the mag...
متن کاملModels of Neutrino Masses and Baryogenesis
Majorana masses of the neutrino implies lepton number violation and is intimately related to the lepton asymmetry of the universe, which gets related to the baryon asymmetry of the universe in the presence of the sphalerons during the electroweak phase transition. Assuming that the baryon asymmetry of the universe is generated before the electroweak phase transition, it is possible to dicrimina...
