abstract

Baryogenesis from the coherent production of a scalar condensate along a flat direction of the supersymmetric extension of the standard model (Affleck-Dine mechanism) is investigated. Two important effects are emphasized. First, nonrenormalizable terms in the superpotential can lift standard model flat directions at large field values. Second, the finite energy density in the early universe induces soft potentials with curvature of order the Hubble constant. Both these have important implications for baryogenesis, which requires large squark or slepton expectation values to develop along flat directions. In particular, the induced mass squared must be negative. The resulting baryon to entropy ratio is very insensitive to the details of the couplings and initial conditions, but depends on the dimension of the nonrenormalizable operator in the superpotential which stabilizes the flat direction and the reheat temperature after inflation. Unlike the original scenario, an acceptable baryon asymmetry can result without subsequent entropy releases. In the simplest scenario the baryon asymmetry is generated along the $LH_u$ flat direction, and is related to the mass of the lightest neutrino.

Non-Thermal Production of Sexaquark Dark Matter

hep-ph · 2025-12-16 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Non-thermal production via late-decaying reheatons can achieve the observed dark matter density for sexaquarks by controlling branching fractions and coalescence probabilities, unlike thermal freeze-out which underproduces them by many orders of magnitude.

Exploring the Landscape of Spontaneous CP Violation in Supersymmetric Theories

hep-ph · 2025-10-27 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Spontaneous CP violation is realized in SUSY via an extended spurion formalism in the exact limit and a model with intermediate-scale breaking along pseudo-flat directions stabilized by soft terms and non-perturbative gauge effects, predicting light scalars.

Stochastic Gravitational Waves from Modulated Reheating

astro-ph.CO · 2025-10-07 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

A spectator scalar in modulated reheating with large Higgs-like couplings generates detectable scalar-induced stochastic gravitational waves for BBO and DECIGO, but only outside perturbative low-energy extrapolations.

Type II Seesaw Leptogenesis in a Majoron background

hep-ph · 2025-06-29 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Spontaneous wash-in leptogenesis in Type II Seesaw with Majoron pNGB background enables baryon asymmetry generation alongside dark matter cogenesis for specific v_T, v_sigma and m_j ranges.
