Baryogenesis with four-fermion operators in low-scale models
Abstract
We describe a nonstandard proposal for baryogenesis in models with a low ( {O}(10 - 100)\ TeV) fundamental scale. The scenario has Standard Model field content and enhanced baryon number violating operators deriving from time-dependent fermion localization in an extra dimension. The CKM matrix provides sufficient CP violation. The major constraints are the low reheating temperature and rate of perturbative B-violating reactions compared to the total entropy created. A sufficient baryon fraction may arise, but the cosmological evolution required is likely to be somewhat contrived. Based on work in collaboration with D. J. H. Chung.
