Cosmic Defects and Particle Physics Constraints
A. C. Davis
In these lectures we review the constraints on particle physics models arising from cosmic defects. This includes constraints on theories where stable cosmic string loops, or vorto…
Constraining Supersymmetric SO(10) Models Through Cosmology
Rachel Jeannerot, Anne-Christine Davis
We study the impact of the symmetry breaking patterns from supersymmetric SO(10) down to the standard model on the standard big-bang cosmology through the formation of topological…
Particle Physics Models, Topological Defects and Electroweak Baryogenesis
M. Trodden, A-C. Davis, R. Brandenberger
We demonstrate the viability of electroweak baryogenesis scenarios in which the necessary departure from equilibrium is realized by the evolution of a network of topological defect…
Local and Nonlocal Defect-Mediated Electroweak Baryogenesis
Robert Brandenberger, Anne-Christine Davis, Tomislav Prokopec +1
We consider the effects of particle transport in the topological defect-mediated electroweak baryogenesis scenarios of Ref. 1. We analyze the cases of both thin and thick defects a…
Electroweak Baryogenesis with Topological Defects
A. C. Davis, R. Brandenberger, M. Trodden
Electroweak baryogenesis has become a topic of much recent activity [1]. Here we discuss a new scenario which has the advantage of being insensitive to the order of the electroweak…
Cosmic Strings and Electroweak Baryogenesis
R. Brandenberger, A. -C. Davis, M. Trodden
The electroweak symmetry is unbroken in the core of cosmic strings originating from a symmetry breaking at an energy higher than the electroweak scale . The dynamics of suc…
