Cosmological chirality and magnetic fields from parity violating particle decays [CL]

http://arxiv.org/abs/2101.06344


We estimate the chirality of the cosmological medium due to parity violating decays of standard model particles, focusing on the example of tau leptons. The non-trivial chirality is however too small to make a significant contribution to the cosmological magnetic field via the chiral-magnetic effect.
