Conclusion

2 Post-sphaleron baryogenesis: Deep connection between BAU and n − n¯ oscillation. BAU is generated below 100 GeV, after the EW sphalerons go out-of-equilibrium. [Babu, Mohapatra, Nasri (PRL ’06)] Low reheating temperature consistent with wide range of inflation models.

More compelling than EW baryogenesis. [Ann Nelson (INT Workshop ’17)]

Why PSB is Compelling?

BAU requires B violation. [Sakharov (JETP Lett. ’67)] 16 ∆B = 1: constraints require very high scale ∼ 10 GeV. [Nath, Fileviez Perez (Phys. Rept. ’07)] ∆B = 2: Induced by dimension-9 operator 1 L = qqqqqq eff Λ5 High-dimension implies scale can be as low as Λ ∼ 106 GeV.

Observable signature: n − n¯ oscillation. [Phillips, Snow, Babu et al. (Phys. Rept. ’16)]

3 Naturally realized in quark- unified models, with S identified as the of B − L breaking. Yukawa couplings that affect PSB and n − n¯ are the same as the ones that generate neutrino masses via seesaw. Requiring successful BAU and observed neutrino oscillation parameters lead to a concrete, quantitative prediction for n − n¯ amplitude.

Basic Idea of PSB

A (pseudo)scalar S decays to , violating B. ∆B = 1 is strongly constrained by proton decay and cannot lead to successful PSB. ∆B = 2 decay of S, if violates CP and occurs out-of-equilibrium, can generate BAU below T = 100 GeV. The same ∆B = 2 operator leads to n − n¯.
