Baryogenesis from Primordial Blackholes after Electroweak Phase Transition

Abstract

Incorporating a realistic model for accretion of ultra-relativistic particles by primordial blackholes (PBHs), we study the evolution of an Einstein-de Sitter universe consisting of PBHs embedded in a thermal bath from the epoch 1033\sim 10^{-33} sec to 5×109\sim 5\times 10^{-9} sec. In this paper we use Barrow et al's ansatz to model blackhole evaporation in which the modified Hawking temperature goes to zero in the limit of the blackhole attaining a relic state with mass mpl\sim m_{pl}. Both single mass PBH case as well as the case in which blackhole masses are distributed in the range 8×1023×1058\times 10^2 - 3\times 10^5 gm have been considered in our analysis. Blackholes with mass larger than 105\sim 10^5 gm appear to survive beyond the electroweak phase transition and, therefore, successfully manage to create baryon excess via XXˉX-\bar X emissions, averting the baryon number wash-out due to sphalerons. In this scenario, we find that the contribution to the baryon-to-entropy ratio by PBHs of initial mass mm is given by ϵζ(m/1gm)1\sim \epsilon \zeta (m/1 {gm})^{-1}, where ϵ\epsilon and ζ\zeta are the CP-violating parameter and the initial mass fraction of the PBHs, respectively. For ϵ\epsilon larger than 104\sim 10^{-4}, the observed matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe can be attributed to the evaporation of PBHs.
