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 sec to 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 . Both single mass PBH case as well as the case in which blackhole masses are distributed in the range gm have been considered in our analysis. Blackholes with mass larger than gm appear to survive beyond the electroweak phase transition and, therefore, successfully manage to create baryon excess via 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 is given by , where and are the CP-violating parameter and the initial mass fraction of the PBHs, respectively. For larger than , the observed matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe can be attributed to the evaporation of PBHs.
