Baryon Asymmetry of the Universe in the Minimal Standard Model

TL;DR

The baryon asymmetry of the Universe which would arise during a first-order electroweak phase transition due to minimal-standard-model processes agrees in sign and magnitude with the observed baryonic excess and for reasonable Kobayashi-Maskawa parameters and mt in the expected range.

Abstract

We calculate the baryon asymmetry of the Universe which would arise during a first order electroweak phase transition due to minimal standard model processes. It agrees in sign and magnitude with the observed baryonic excess, for resonable KM parameters and m$_t$ in the expected range, and plausible values of bubble velocity and other high temperature effects. A detailed version of this work (77pp) is being simultaneously submitted to the net. A shortened version of this recently appeared in Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 70}, 2833, 1993.
