Fields, Sarkar KICP Colloquium, Univ. of Chicago, February 3rd, 2015 1 Anti-Matter • An inevitable prediction of the marriage of Quantum Mechanics and Special Relativity. Its existence was first postulated by Dirac, in order to make sense of the negative energy states appearing as solutions of the Dirac equation Dirac, 1930 Positrons discovered by C. Anderson in 1932 • Holes of negative energy : Positive energy positrons. • Antiparticles carry the same mass and spin as particles, but opposite charges. Every particle has its antiparticle. Symmetry C (and CP) relates them. Under reasonable assumptions, CPT is a symmetry of nature. • No symmetry prevents the annihilation of matter and anti-matter. So, they don’t coexist easily together. 2 Matter-Antimatter Annihilation 3 The Puzzle of the Matter-Antimatter asymmetry • Anti-matter is governed by the same interactions as matter. • Observable Universe is composed of matter. • Anti-matter is only seen in cosmic rays and particle physics accelerators • The rate observed in cosmic rays consistent with secondary emission of antiprotons n P "10!4 n P 4 Theory vs. Observation Baryons annihilate with anti-baryons via strong interactions mediated by mesons This is a very efficient annihilation channel and the equilibrium density is nB¯ nB 20 = 10− nγ nγ How does this compare to experiment ? First of all, we have the problem of the unobserved antimatter. Secondly, from the analysis of BBN and CMBR, one obtains, consistently 5 BaryonBaryon AbundanceAbundance inin thethe UniverseUniverse !

The abundances of the primordial elements and the height of the peaks of the CMB power spectrum depend on the ratio of baryons-to-photons. Strumia Fields, Sarkar How to explain the absence of antimatter and the appearance of such a small asymmetry ? 7 SmallMatter Asymmetry and may Anti-Matterbe generated dynamically, at temperaturesEarly belowUniverse the reheating one : Baryogenesis NB=30 000 000 001 NB =30 000 000 000 1,000,000,001 1,000,000,000 t 10−6 s Matter Anti-matter Murayama 54 Assuming the existence of a small primordial asymmetry solves the puzzle. Indeed, matter-antimatter annihilation can now occur efficiently and finally the small asymmetry will lead to observable matter in the Universe 8 8 Matter and Anti-Matter Small Asymmetry may be generated primordially : EarlyBaryogenesis Universe NB=1 NB =0 NB=30 000 000 001 NB =30 000 000 000 1,000,000,001 1,000,000,000 t 10−6 s now Matter Anti-matter Murayama 54 Assuming the existence of a small primordial asymmetry solves the puzzle.

Under natural assumptions, there are three conditions, enunciated by Sakharov, that need to be fulfilled for baryogenesis. The SM fulfills them : ! Baryon number violation: Anomalous Processes ! C and CP violation: Quark CKM mixing ! Non-equilibrium: Possible at the electroweak phase transition. 10 Anomalous processes in the SM Non-equivalent Vacua and Static Energy in Field Configuration Space The sphaleron is a static configuration with non-vanishing values of the Higgs and gauge boson fields. Its energy may be identified with the height of the barrier separating vacua with different baryon number The quantity v is the Higgs vacuum expectation value, < H > = v. 8! v E = This quantity provides an order parameter which sph distinguishes the electroweak symmetry gW preserving and violating phases.

Otherwise Γ(X Y )=Γ(Y X) ! ! No baryon asymmetry will be generated Thermal equilibrium broken due to the expansion of the universe, at temperatures below the heavy gauge boson masses Net baryon number will be generated What about lepton number ?

Since they violate B + L, the sphaleron processes will suppress this quantity But since we started from an initial condition with B - L = 0, and this is preserved, then B + L =0=2B = B =0 ) Generated baryon number is erased ! GUT baryogenesis in SU(5) or other B-L preserving GUT theory doesn’t work. 16 Leptogenesis Baryon asymmetry could be generated if the generated asymmetry carries non-zero B-L charge Sphaleron could be used to our advantage, and we could generate a non-zero baryon charge starting from a net lepton number charge at high energies. Lepton number violation is naturally associated with heavy Majorana right-handed neutrinos. Such particles can a) Explain the smallness of the observed neutrino masses b) Lead to the necessary generation of lepton number via the decay of the Majorana neutrinos. Sphaleron processes convert this lepton number into Baryon number ! 17 Type I see-saw mechanism: Introduce heavy right-handed neutrinos (at least two). it!!
