Evolution of Chemical Potentials at Large Lepton Asymmetries — •Mandy M. Wygas and Dietrich Bödeker — Universität Bielefeld, Deutschland

An important phase in the early universe is the quark-hadron transition. It is well established that the order of the transition depends on the baryon density, or equivalently on the baryonchemical potential µB. In the QCD phase diagram in the µBT plane, the cosmic QCD transition is commonly assumed to take place at vanishing baryonchemical potential µB≈ 0. However, as the baryon chemical potential also depends on lepton flavour asymmetries, this is only valid for a total lepton asymmetry l of the order of the baryon asymmetry, | l|≈O(b). While the magnitude of the baryon asymmetry, b≃ 10−10, can be determined by observations, l is only poorly constrained by observations and might be orders of magnitude larger than b, | l| 10−2. Thus potentially large lepton flavour asymmetries induce a large µB.
