Baryon Number Generation in the Early Universe (1980)


Abstract

The generation of an excess of baryons over antibaryons in the very early universe due to - and -violating interactions is described. The Boltzmann equation is used to perform detailed calculations of the time development of such an excess in several simple illustrative models. Complications encountered in applications of the results to specific models are discussed.
