Kaon oscillations and baryon asymmetry of the universe [CL]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1904.03835


Baryon asymmetry of the universe (BAU) is naturally explained with $K^0-K^{0′}$ oscillations of a newly developed mirror-matter model and new understanding of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) phase transitions. The global symmetry breaking transitions in QCD are proposed to be staged depending on condensation temperatures of strange, charm, bottom, and top quarks in the early universe. The long-standing BAU puzzle can then be understood with $K^0-K^{0′}$ oscillations that occur at the stage of strange quark condensation and baryon number violation via a non-perturbative instanton-like (coined “quarkiton”) process. Similar processes at charm, bottom, and top quark condensation stages are also discussed including an interesting idea for top quark condensation to break both the QCD global $U_t(1)_A$ symmetry and the electroweak gauge symmetry at the same time. Meanwhile, the $U(1)_A$ or strong CP problem of particle physics is simply solved under the same framework.
