The Standard Model and Baryogenesis at 50 Years = (0.861 ± 0.005) × 10 −10 Baryon Asymmetry: nB/s • Why is there an asymmetry between matter and antimatter?
o Initial (anthropic?) conditions: . Requires “acausal” initial conditions. . Inflation, which seemingly evades acausal issue for density perturbations, dilutes pre-inflation baryon number by an exponential amount.
o The modern perspective is that reheating after inflation produced a symmetric universe (equal abundances of matter & antimatter).
o Asymmetry developed dynamically after inflation and reheating through a process known as “baryogenesis.”
• Why is it about 10−10 ?
The Standard Model and Baryogenesis at 50 Years Inner Space/Outer Space Connection A complete Standard Model of Particle Physics, arising from laboratory experiments and beautiful theoretical ideas, should be applicable to the universe beyond terrestrial laboratories and (in principle) allow the calculation of cosmological parameters such as the baryon number of the universe.
A failure of today’s Standard Model of Particle Physics to account completely for the observed universe (dark matter, dark energy, inflation, baryogenesis) points to the fact that Today’s Standard Model of Particle Physics is not the Final Standard Model of Particle Physics.
Cosmological considerations may point to directions for physics beyond today’s Standard Model. The baryon asymmetry is an example of this.
The Standard Model and Baryogenesis at 50 Years = (0.861 ± 0.005) × 10 −10 Baryon Asymmetry: nB/s • Can the standard model of particle physics explain a tiny number = (0.861±0.005) × 10 −10 in the standard model of cosmology: nB/s ? No, or at least, not yet!
• Can the standard model of particle physics explain an order-unity number in the standard model of cosmology: Dark Matter/Baryons ≈ 5.3?
No, or at least, not yet!
• Starting after inflation/reheating with a symmetric universe, how must the SM be augmented to produce an asymmetric universe?

2.CP too small in the Standard Model (Jarlskog invariant small; n, nuclei EDM).

The Standard Model and Baryogenesis at 50 Years Electroweak Baryogenesis
How far BSM to have EWK phase transition 1st-order?
• MSSM initially promising if light right-handed stop (Carena, Quiros, Wagner; Cline & Moore). But increasingly stringent LHC constraints challenge the idea.
• NMSSM is more promising since extra singlet scalar field strengthens phase transition (Menon, Morrissey, Wagner; Huber, Konstandin, Prokopec, Schmidt).
• Two-Higgs models hard to make work since models that might work have very large Higgs self-coupling (Cline, Kainulainen, Trott).
• Most promising (and simplest) is to add a scalar singlet S coupling to Higgs Φ, e.g., 2 2 2 V(Φ,S) = μ S + ζ Φ†Φ S to provide cubic term (Choi & Volkas). 1 32 Δ=−+VTh(), π T()μς22 h 12 Two phase transitions since typically 〈S〉¹ 0.
• Lots of work probing models for 1st-order phase transitions at LHC & future colliders.

The Standard Model and Baryogenesis at 50 Years Electroweak Baryogenesis
How far BSM to have CP sufficiently large?
•CP phase in MSSM chargino mass matrix leads to chiral chargino asymmetry → chiral quark asymmetry (Carena, Quiros, Riotto, Vilja, Wagner; Cline, Joyce, Kainulainen). But increasingly stringent LHC constraints, as well as EDM constraints are a problem.
• NMSSM is more promising, extra singlet provides new sources of CP .
• Ditto for non-SM singlets.
• Multi-Higgs models.

• Doesn’t work in Standard Model, but ingredients in place.
• Need another source of CP evading FCNC, EDM, and other constraints.

• Many aspects of calculation difficult (wall velocity, transport equations across wall, gravitational wave production, etc.).
The Standard Model and Baryogenesis at 50 Years Thermal Leptogenesis (Fukugita & Yanagida)
• Type-I see-saw model (Gell-Mann, Ramond & Slansky; Yanagida; Mohapatra & Senjanovic; Schecter & Valle) for neutrino masses and mixing enlarges the SM to include a Majorana neutrino N with a large mass which couples to SM leptons and Higgs via = − λ LH N.
• Large Majorana mass for N; small Dirac mass for ν (generated by EWK Higgs mechanism). The see-saw results in light neutrino mass of ≈ 0.3 λ 0.1 2 1012 2 → ≈1012 mν eV ( / ) ( GeV /mN) so want mN GeV.
• N decays to SM leptons + Higgs, violating lepton number by 1: _ _ N → L H or N → L H Lepton-number violation. _ _ • Assume Γ(N → L H ) > Γ(N → L H ) CP violation.
• If nonequilibrium conditions, can generate a lepton asymmetry with B − L ¹ 0.

• Leptogenesis is BSM, but motivated by observation of neutrino oscillations (and masses). Also massive right-handed N fermions present in Grand Unified Theories beyond SU(5), e.g., SO(10).
• Scenario has all the necessary ingredients: L violation from N decay followed by B violation from sphaleron conversion to B asymmetry; CP violation from complex Yukawa couplings; out-of-equilibrium decay for reasonable model parameters.
• Experimental proof of Majorana nature of neutrinos would give a boost to scenario.
• Inner-Space/Outer-Space connection between Baryon Asymmetry (one number) and the richness of the Type-I see-saw model.

Doesn’t work. o Toussaint, Trieman, Wilczek, Zee (1979) and Barr (1979) pointed out problem. Dimopoulos & Susskind (1979) used out-of-equilibrium decay.

The Standard Model and Baryogenesis at 50 Years GUT Baryogenesis
Problems with GUT Baryogenesis: • Experimental: proton doesn’t seem to decay at expected level.
• Cosmological: o B − L is a conserved global quantum number in SU(5). Only produce B + L asymmetry, which is washed out by sphalerons. o Symmetry breaking G → H ⊗ U(1) overproduces magnetic monopoles in phase transition via Kibble mechanism and thermal production. o Expected temperatures after inflation smaller than unification scale.
• Perhaps unification at larger mass scale (helps with out-of-equilibrium conditions).
• Beyond SU(5): SO(10) has spontaneously broken local B − L so can produce B − L asymmetry (along with B + L). (Massive right-handed neutrino embedded in SO(10).)
• Cosmological issues more problematic.
• Nevertheless, take another look if observation of proton decay at Hyper-Super- Kamiokande.

Consider SUSY GUTs. Before SUSY breaking there is a many-parameter set of flat directions for the vacuum state. In general, the states may have a nonzero vacuum expectation value for sleptons and squarks, l ≠ 0 and q ≠ 0 . VEV spontaneously breaks CP.

The Standard Model and Baryogenesis at 50 Years Baryogenesis Conclusions
Hoped for disruptions: • Great new theoretical ideas in cosmology or particle physics are certainly welcome. • Unexpected discoveries in particle physics or cosmology welcome. • Discovery of low-scale SUSY would open new possibilities for Electroweak Baryogenesis. • Discovery of non-SM Higgs couplings (e.g., hhh or hZZ) at colliders could mean EWK transition is 1st-order, pointing to Electroweak Baryogenesis. • Evidence for non-minimal Higgs sector could effect EWK transition and introduce new CP phases. • Observation of non-SM sources of CP violation, say large neutron EDM. • Proof that neutrinos are Majorana particles would give impetus to Thermal Leptogenesis. • Observation of proton decay would be evidence for perturbative baryon-number violation at GUT scales; re-examine GUT Baryogenesis.
The Standard Model and Baryogenesis at 50 Years Baryogenesis Conclusions
Hoped for disruptions: • Observation of stochastic background of gravitational radiation with eLISA could be evidence for 1st-order phase transitions. • Observation of a baryon isocurvature component might suggest a rolling field as in Affleck-Dine or Spontaneous Baryogenesis. • Observation of primordial magnetic fields might point to role in baryogenesis.
