Source of CP Violation for Baryon Asymmetry of the Universe

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-10-27 v3

Abstract

The baryon asymmetry of the Universe requires CP violation, but the Standard Model falls short by a factor of 101010^{-10} or more. Starting from a clue at the BB factories, we point out that the large Yukawa couplings of the sequential fourth generation tt^\prime and bb^\prime quarks can provide enhancement by a factor of over 101310^{13}, making the 2-3-4 generation quark sector a viable source of CP violation for the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. With recent hints of large sin2ΦBs\sin2\Phi_{B_s} in Bs0B_s^0-Bˉs0\bar B_s^0 mixing from the Tevatron, the ultimate test would be to discover the tt^\prime and bb^\prime quarks at the Large Hadron Collider.
