Baryon Isocurvature Perturbation in the Affleck-Dine Baryogenesis mechanism

Abstract

We propose a primeval baryon isocurvature model in the context of the Affleck-Dine (AD) baryogenesis mechanism. Quantum fluctuations of the AD field during inflation produce fluctuations in the baryon number. We obtain a model which gives both the appropriate baryon to entropy ratio of the order $10^{-11}$ and the gaussian baryon isocurvature perturbation of the order $10^{-3}$ at the break of the spectrum 1 Mpc with the steep spectrum $n=-1.5$ on large scales >1 Mpc.
