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…
Neutrino production in matter with time-dependent density or velocity
Alexander Kusenko, Marieke Postma
We show that neutrinos can be produced through standard electroweak interactions in matter with time-dependent density.
Resonant Amplification of Electroweak Baryogenesis at Preheating
J. M. Cornwall, D. Grigoriev, A. Kusenko
We explore viable scenarios for parametric resonant amplification of electroweak (EW) gauge fields and Chern-Simons number during preheating, leading to baryogenesis at the electro…
Neutrino cross sections at high energies and the future observations of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays
Alexander Kusenko, Thomas Weiler
We show that future detectors of ultrahigh-energy cosmic-ray neutrinos will be able to measure neutrino-nucleon cross section at energies as high as 10^{11}GeV or higher. We find t…
Q-ball candidates for self-interacting dark matter
Alexander Kusenko, Paul J. Steinhardt
We show that non-topological solitons, known as Q-balls, are promising candidates for self-interacting dark matter. They can satisfy the cross-section requirements for a broad rang…
