Abstract

We investigate whether the baryon asymmetry of the universe is explained in the framework of the supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model with R-parity violating interactions. It is shown that the Affleck-Dine mechanism naturally works via a trilinear interaction LLEcLLE^c, LQDcLQD^c, or UcDcDcU^cD^cD^c, if the magnitude of the coupling corresponding to the operator λ\lambda, λ\lambda', or λ\lambda'' is sufficiently small. The formation of Q-balls and their subsequent evolution are also discussed. The present baryon asymmetry can be explained in the parameter region where R-parity is mildly violated 109λ,λ,λ10610^{-9}\lesssim\lambda,\lambda',\lambda''\lesssim 10^{-6} and the mass of the gravitino is relatively heavy m3/2104GeVm_{3/2}\gtrsim 10^4\mathrm{GeV}. On the other hand, it is difficult to explain the present baryon asymmetry for larger values of R-parity violating couplings λ,λ,λ105\lambda,\lambda',\lambda''\gtrsim 10^{-5}, since Q-balls are likely to be destructed in the thermal environment and the primordial baryon number is washed away.
