Although the origin of matter-antimatter asymmetry remains unknown, continuing advances in theory and improved experimental limits have ruled out some scenarios for baryogenesis, for example the sphaleron baryogenesis at the electroweak…
I review the extraction of kinetic and chemical freeze-out parameters from experimental data, with particular emphasis on the underlying assumptions and the validity of the conclusions.
A mechanism is presented, in which the mixing of right handed heavy Majorana neutrinos creates a $CP-$asymmetric universe. When these Majorana neutrinos subsequently decay more leptons than anti-leptons are produced. The lepton asymmetry…
A brief review, from basic atomic constants to "Mendeleev Table" of leptons, quarks, fundamental bosons, and then to superunification of all forces and particles.
We provide an up to date account of progress in understanding the origin of the observed baryon asymmetry of the universe. While our primary goal is to be current, we have attempted to give a pedagogical introduction to the primary areas of…
The baryon asymmetry of the Universe is one of the central motivations to expect physics beyond the Standard Model. In this Snowmass white paper, we review the challenges and opportunities in testing some of the central paradigms that…
Our concept of the basic constituents of matter has undergone two revolutionary changes -- from atoms to proton & neutron and then onto quarks & leptons. Indeed all these quarks and leptons have been seen by now along with the carriers of…
The empirical laws of chemical kinetics are studied from a microscopic point of view. An analysis based on elementary probability theory and combinatorics is enough to explain the kinetics law observed in experiments. Thus, an out of…
Baryonic excitation spectra, electroweak and strong decay properties are discussed within a relativistically covariant constituent quark model based on the instantaneous approximation to the three-body Bethe-Salpeter equation.
In this talk I begin with a brief review of the status of approaches to understanding the origin of the baryon asymmetry of the universe (BAU). I then describe a recent model unifying three seemingly-distict problems facing particle…
We report on the main results presented at the workshop on The Physics of Relic Neutrinos. The study of relic neutrinos involves a broad spectrum of problems in particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology. Features of baryogenesis and…
Models of baryogenesis which may lead to astronomically significant amount of antimatter in the universe are reviewed. Observational features are briefly discussed.
A review of the present state of the baryogenesis is given with an emphasis on electroweak baryogenesis. Technical details of the numerous models cosidered in the literature are not elaborated but unresolved problems of the issue are…
The status of lattice calculations of some phenomenology of heavy quarks is presented. Emphasis is on progress made in calculating those quantities relevant to estimating parameters of the quark mixing matrix, namely leptonic decay…
Baryogenesis through neutrino oscillations is an elegant mechanism which has found several realizations in the literature corresponding to different parts of the model parameter space. Its appeal stems from its minimality and dependence…
The description of baryon resonance masses and decays in the constituent quark model is outlined, with emphasis on the potential-model approach combined with the 3P0 pair-creation model of strong decays. This approach allows the estimation…
The existence of stationary distributions in a multicomponent Boltzmann equation using a non-additive kinetic energy composition rule for binary collisions is discussed. It is found that detailed balance is not achieved when -- in contrast…
We investigate a novel interplay between the decay and annihilation of a particle whose mass undergoes a large shift during a first order phase transition, leading to the particles becoming trapped in the false vacuum and enhancing their…
We discuss decay of unstable particles and pair annihilation of stable heavy particles that occur in the cosmic medium, from the point of the fundamental microscopic theory. A fully quantum mechanical treatment shows that the effect of…
The experimental fact that the energy density in Dark Matter and in Baryons is of the same order is one of the most puzzling in cosmology. In this letter we suggest a new mechanism able to explain this coincidence in the context of…
