Universal Lepton Asymmetry: New Constraints from the Cosmic Microwave Background and Primordial Nucleosynthesis
T. Kajino, M. Orito, G. J. Mathews +1
We study the primordial nucleosynthesis and cosmic age in the presence of a net lepton asymmetry as well as baryon asymmetry. We explore a previously unnoted region of the paramete…
Impact of Few-Body Reactions on Explosive Nucleosynthesis: The Big-Bang and Supernovae
Toshitaka Kajino, Kaori Otsuki, Shin-ya Wanajo +2
We study the few body reactions in explosive nucleosynthesis of light-to-heavy mass elements in various astrophysical conditions. In neutrino-driven winds of gravitational core col…
Neutrino Degeneracy and Decoupling: New Limits from Primordial Nucleosynthesis and the Cosmic Microwave Background
M. Orito, T. Kajino, G. J. Mathews +1
We reanalyze the cosmological constraints on the existence of a net universal lepton asymmetry and neutrino degeneracy. We show that neutrinos can begin to decouple at higher tempe…
QCD Phase Transition at high Temperature in Cosmology
Hideo Suganuma, Hiroko Ichie, Hideko Monden +4
The cosmological QCD phase transition is studied in terms of the color confinement at finite temperature using the dual Higgs theory of QCD. The confinement force is largely reduce…
