BLcosmic strings and baryogenesis

Abstract: Cosmic strings arising from breaking of the U (1) B−L gauge symmetry that occurs in a wide variety of unified models can carry zero modes of heavy Majorana neutrinos. Decaying and/or repeatedly self-interacting closed loops of these "B − L" cosmic strings can be a non-thermal source of heavy right-handed Majorana neutrinos whose decay can contribute to the observed baryon asymmetry of the Universe (BAU) via the leptogenesis route. The B − L cosmic strings are expected in GUT models such as SO (10)

“…This work has proposed utilization for particle and nuclear studies with the thought that string stimulation due to the innovation can progress the subjects. For example, string experimentation can allow for greater insight about diversity of particles as mesons (Novikov, Shifman, Vainshtein, & Zakharov 1981;Schäfer & Shuryak 1998) or lack of bodies including for cosmological issues as baryogenesis (Dasgupta 1997;Bhattacharjee, Sahu, & Yajnik 2004). Well-discussed questions, e.g.…”
