Abstract

The emerging cosmological picture is of a spatially flat universe composed predominantly of three components: ordinary baryons (ΩB ≈ 0.05), non-baryonic dark matter (ΩDark ≈ 0.22) and dark energy (ΩΛ ≈ 0.7). We recently proposed that ordinary matter was synthesised from mirror matter, motivated by the argument that the observed similarity of ΩB and ΩDark suggests an underlying similarity between the fundamental properties of ordinary and dark matter particles. In this paper we generalise the previous analysis by considering a wider class of effective operators that non-gravitationally couple the ordinary and mirror sectors. We find that while all considered operators imply ΩDark = few× ΩB, only a subset quantitatively reproduce the observed ratio ΩB/ΩDark ≈ 0.20. The ∼ 1 eV mass scale induced through these operators hints at a connection with neutrino oscillation physics.

  • In particular, various baryogenesis scenarios with a hidden sector [ref] [ref] support a mirror baryonic density at least equal to the ordinary one.[ As far as the two sectors have the same particle physics, it is natural to think that the mirror baryon number density $n'_b$ is determined by the baryogenesis mechanism which is similar to the one which fixes the ordinary baryon density $n_b$.

  • This generally leads to models of mirror matter, where the mirror symmetry is either exact [ref] or judiciously broken [ref] (For other models of mirror matter, see Refs. [ref] ). * introduce new field content so that the running gauge couplings $α_s$ and $α_d$ approach infrared fixed points with similar magnitudes.

  • The main approach to this problem is to introduce a dark QCD-like gauge group $SU(N_d)$ and some mechanism that relates the confinement scale $Λ_dQCD$ to the QCD confinement scale $Λ_QCD$; the DM candidate in these models is thus a dark baryon whose mass is similar to the proton mass [ref] .
