Sakharov: CP violation and baryon asymmetry of the universe

Contribution grade

Quantum field and particle physics · THEORY

Reference score275,000Provisional editorial estimate of this exact contribution; its grade is assessed separately.

What changed

Proposed baryon-number violation, C/CP asymmetry and nonequilibrium dynamics as enabling conditions for cosmological baryon asymmetry.

Scientific scope

The record is Sakharov's sole-author 1967 note and its proposed conditions. It is not an experimentally verified mechanism for the observed asymmetry or a record for later baryogenesis models.
