Grand-Unified-Theory Baryogenesis after Preheating

Open access
Kolb, Edward W., Linde, Andrei, Riotto, Antonio·1996·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

At the end of inflation the Universe is frozen in a near zero-entropy state with energy density in a coherent scalar field and must be ``defrosted'' to produce the observed entropy and baryon number. We propose that the baryon asymmetry is generated by the decay of supermassive grand-unified-theory (GUT) bosons produced nonthermally in a preheating phase after inflation. We show that baryogenesis is possible for an inflaton mass of order ${10}^{13}\mathrm{GeV}$ and a GUT Higgs boson mass of order ${10}^{14}\mathrm{GeV}$, thus solving many drawbacks facing GUT baryogenesis in the old reheating scenario.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
