Comment on "Pulsar kicks via spin-1 color superconductivity"
Alexander Kusenko
In a recent paper, Phys. Rev. Lett. 94, 211101 (2005) [hep-ph/0502166], Schmitt et al. have proposed a new mechanism to explain the observed velocities of pulsars. The proposed exp…
Long and short gamma-ray bursts, and the pulsar kicks
Alexander Kusenko, Dmitry V. Semikoz
One of the mysteries that surround gamma-ray bursts (GRB) is the origin of two classes of events: long and short GRB. The short GRB are similar to the first second of a long GRB. W…
Pulsar velocities and dark matter hint at a singlet neutrino
Alexander Kusenko
Two astrophysical puzzles, the origin of pulsar velocities and that of dark matter, may have a simultaneous explanation if there exists a sterile neutrino with a mass in the 1-20 k…
CP violation and cosmology
Alexander Kusenko
Microscopic CP violation has profound cosmological consequences. In particular, it is related to the baryon asymmetry of the universe. A successful baryogenesis requires new source…
Baryogenesis in the wake of inflation
Alexander Kusenko
Electroweak baryogenesis could be very efficient at the end of an electroweak-scale inflation. Reheating that followed inflation could create a highly non-equilibrium plasma, in wh…
Baryonic Q-balls as dark matter
Alexander Kusenko
Supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model predict the existence of Q-balls, some of which can be entirely stable. Affleck-Dine baryogenesis can result in a copious production…
