RE-EXAMINATION OF GENERATION
OF BARYON AND LEPTON NUMBER
ASYMMETRIES BY HEAVY PARTICLE DECAY

ABSTRACT
It is shown that wave function renormalization can introduce an important
contribution to the generation of baryon and lepton number asymmetries by heavy
particle decay. These terms, omitted in previous analyses, are of the same order
of magnitude as the standard terms. A complete cancellation of leading terms can
result in some interesting cases.
1
The three key elements for baryogenesis, namely baryon number violation, C
and CP violation and departure from thermal equilibrium were clearly identified
in Sakharov’s historic paper
1
in 1967. Realistic calculations of baryogenesis only
became possible however in the late 1970’s, after the introduction of grand unified
theories (GUTS), which provided a clear field theoretical model in which baryon
number violation occurs.
2
The early calculations followed a standard pattern, colloquially referred to as
the “drift and decay mechanism”. Pre-existing asymmetries were presumed to be
erased before the breaking of the GUT symmetry. A particle S, usually a colored
Higgs boson, has a long enough lifetime so that it is out of thermal equilibrium
when it finally decays. Since the decaying particle has at least two decay modes
with different baryon number and its couplings violate CP , the ingredients are all
in place for baryogenesis.
It was realized almost immediately that one needed to go beyond the tree ap-
proximation in calculating decay amplitudes: otherwise CPT invariance leads to
a zero baryon asymmetry. Therefore the standard calculation involves an interfer-
ence between eg. a tree level diagram for S decaying into fermions S → f1f2 and
a one or more loop diagrams for the same process.
Many refinements and elaborations have taken place
