Kaon oscillations and baryon asymmetry of the universe

General Physics 2020-09-04 v6

Abstract

Baryon asymmetry of the universe (BAU) is naturally explained with K0K0K^0-K^{0'} oscillations of a newly developed mirror-matter model and new understanding of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) phase transitions. A consistent picture for the origin of both BAU and dark matter is presented with the aid of nnn-n' oscillations of the new model. The global symmetry breaking transitions in QCD are proposed to be staged depending on condensation temperatures of strange, charm, bottom, and top quarks in the early universe. The long-standing BAU puzzle can then be understood with K0K0K^0-K^{0'} oscillations that occur at the stage of strange quark condensation and baryon number violation via a non-perturbative sphaleron-like (coined "quarkiton") process. Similar processes at charm, bottom, and top quark condensation stages are also discussed including an interesting idea for top quark condensation to break both the QCD global Ut(1)AU_t(1)_A symmetry and the electroweak gauge symmetry at the same time. Meanwhile, the U(1)AU(1)_A or strong CP problem of particle physics is simply solved under the same framework.
