Early-Universe Baryogenesis  

In General > s.a. CPT symmetry; phenomenology of higher-order gravity.
* Idea: As a process, baryogenesis refers to the production of baryons in the early universe; Often, however, the term refers to the fact that many more baryons (matter) are observed than antibaryons (antimatter).
* Matter-antimatter asymmetry: The predominance of matter over antimatter in the observed universe; Sakharov's conditions for it are: (i) Baryon number violation; (ii) C and CP violation; (iii) Departure from thermal equilibrium; It would have happened in the GUT or electroweak era.
* Origin: 2004, Unknown, but theoretical advances and experimental limits have ruled out some scenarios; For example, any explanation within the Standard Model (including the sphaleron baryogenesis at the electroweak phase transition) now seems to be ruled out as insufficient, but its supersymmetric extensions offer promise; 2010, Proposal by Davoudiasl et al using a hypothetical X particle of a hidden sector.
* Predictions: The baryon-to-photon ratio nbaryons / nphotons = 10−9±1, conserved (see above).
