Nucleosynthesis Constraints on Defect-Mediated Electroweak Baryogenesis

Astrophysics 2010-11-01 v1 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

In the defect-mediated electroweak baryogenesis scenario, baryons are produced in well separated regions of space. It is shown that between the electroweak phase transition at a temperature of T100GeVT \sim 100 {\rm GeV} and the end of nucleosynthesis at T1KeVT \sim 1 {\rm KeV} the baryon inhomogeneities dissipate, and that no constraints on defect-mediated electroweak baryogenesis can be derived from considerations of inhomogeneous nucleosynthesis.
