Dark Matter and Baryon Asymmetry production from out-of-equilibrium decays of Supersymmetric states

TL;DR

This paper reviews a mechanism where out-of-equilibrium decays of a WIMP-like particle produce both baryon asymmetry and dark matter, with a focus on a supersymmetric realization.

Contribution

It introduces a specific supersymmetric model that explains baryon and dark matter abundances through out-of-equilibrium decays.

Findings

Decays of WIMP-like particles can generate baryon asymmetry and dark matter.

A concrete supersymmetric scenario realizes this mechanism.

The approach links dark matter and baryon production in a unified framework.

Abstract

We will review the main aspects of a mechanism for the contemporary generation of the baryon and Dark Matter abundances from the out-of-equilibrium decay of a Wimp-like mother particle and briefly discuss a concrete realization in a Supersymmetric scenario.
