  1. Baryogenesis Astrophysical Seminar 2004/2005 Ben Koch

  2. Outline • Baryon assymmetry • Three conditions for baryogenesis • Baryon number - what is it? • Sphalerons • Other candidates baryon number violation

  3. Matter- antimater asymmetrie: Solar system: Separation of matter antimatter regions: Define number densities for baryons

  4. Expansion of Universe dilutes densities, for relative change look at Taking - Boltzmann distribution of photon densities - Hubble expansion of the Universe - measured primordial deuterium and hydrogen abundances

  5. Different way of looking at baryon asymmetry via entropy with ) (compare g* is counting the effective degrees of freedom of all particles. This gives in an analogous way:

  6. Three conditions forbaryogenesis clear 1. There must be baryon number non conserving interactions in nature. but not observed in nature for example proton decay...

  7. 2. there must be C- and CP violating interactions in nature. Consider: If C exact symmetry: (*) So in total: -from bar: -from anti bar: with (*): =

  8. Consider Particle X with BX not equal 0 at T<<mX in thermal equilibrium: Antiparticle: A baryon number non-conserving process in thermal eqilibrium requires 3. the baryon-number non-conserving process occurs when the universe is not in thermal equilibrium

  9. BN what is it?&Sphalerons Tooooooo many formulas, go to black board

  10. Other candidates forbaryon number violation Generally: The decay of heavy particles X with BX=0 into baryonic particles in the early universe can produce a baryon number violating effect Such particles and interactions are provided by several GUT´s (great unification)

  11. excluded by experiment only possible with fine tuned choice of GUT scale not enough CP violation only with highly finetuned parameters don´t know - looks involved 1. SU(5) Some states of Higgs multiplet can decay into baryons. 2. SO(10) Similar decays like SU(5) 3. In SM Sphalerons are nice 4. In MSSM can in principle cure CP problem of SM 3. Other Susy with Affleck-Dine baryogenesis Using generic features of Susy

  12. Conclusion: Interesting and vital field of physics, for which it is too early to make more than preliminary conclusions.
