Abstract

We leverage the CP violation in charged BB meson decays to generate the observed baryon asymmetry and dark matter at O(10 MeV)\mathcal{O}(10 \text{ MeV}) temperatures. We realize this in two scenarios: Bc+B_c^+ Mesogenesis and B+B^+ Mesogenesis. In the first, CP violating Bc±B_c^\pm decays to B±B^\pm mesons are followed by decays to dark and Standard Model baryons. In the second, CP violating B±B^\pm decays to lighter charged mesons are accompanied by the latter's decays to dark and Standard Model leptons, which then scatter into the baryon asymmetry. Bc+B_c^+ Mesogenesis is actively being probed at Belle and LHCb, while B+B^+ Mesogenesis can be tested at colliders and sterile neutrino searches.
