Affleck-Dine baryogenesis via mass splitting

Eugeny Babichev, Dmitry Gorbunov, Sabir Ramazanov

We introduce a class of non-supersymmetric models explaining baryogenesis a la Affleck-Dine, which use a decay of two superheavy scalar fields with close masses. These scalars acqu…

Fast and easy super-sample covariance of large scale structure observables

Fabien Lacasa, Julien Grain

We present a numerically cheap approximation to super-sample covariance (SSC) of large scale structure cosmological probes, first in the case of angular power spectra. It necessita…
