Unstable superheavy relic particles as a source of neutrinos responsible for the ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays
Graciela Gelmini, Alexander Kusenko
Decays of superheavy relic particles may produce extremely energetic neutrinos. Their annihilations on the relic neutrinos can be the origin of the cosmic rays with energies beyond…
Explanations of pulsar velocities
Alexander Kusenko
Several mechanisms based on neutrino oscillations can explain the observed motions of pulsars if the magnetic field in their interiors is of order 10^{14}-10^{15} G.
Non-equilibrium electroweak baryogenesis from preheating after inflation
Juan Garcia-Bellido, Dmitri Grigoriev, Alexander Kusenko +1
We present a novel scenario for baryogenesis in a hybrid inflation model at the electroweak scale, in which the Standard Model Higgs field triggers the end of inflation. One of the…
Highest-energy cosmic rays from Fermi-degenerate relic neutrinos consistent with Super-Kamiokande results
Graciela Gelmini, Alexander Kusenko
Relic neutrinos with mass 0.07 (+0.02/-0.04) eV, in the range consistent with Super-Kamiokande data, can explain the cosmic rays with energies in excess of the Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuz…
Dark matter from Affleck-Dine baryogenesis
Alexander Kusenko
Fragmentation of the Affleck-Dine condensate into Q-balls could fill the Universe with dark matter either in the form of stable baryonic balls, or LSP produced from the decay of un…
