Enhanced baryon number violation due to cosmological defects with localized fermions along extra dimension
arXiv:hep-ph/0202258 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.65.107302
Abstract
We propose a new scenario of baryon number violation in models with extra dimensions. In the true vacuum, baryon number is almost conserved due to the localization mechanism of matter fields, which suppresses the interactions between quarks and leptons. We consider several types of cosmological defects in four-dimensional spacetime that shift the center of the localized matter fields, and show that the magnitudes of the baryon number violating interactions are well enhanced. Application to baryogenesis is also discussed.
