Dark Matter and Surplus Quarks (for Baryons) Generated by Oblique Confinement of Quarks

ORAL

Abstract

For surplus quarks (and baryons) to emerge after Big Bang, a nonequilibrium binding and superconductor-like condensation of quark-antiquark pairs must occur before the electroweak (EW) symmetry breakdown (similar for leptons). As shown here, the formerly unknown dimensionless coupling to the Ginsburg-Landau like potential and the scale parameter in the EW theory then become microscopic functions of the massive quark and antiquark fields, thus defining the matter-antimatter asymmetry and the dark matter content in the Universe at correct orders of magnitude. Thereby also the number of free parameters in the Standard Model is reduced. Key words: Quark Confinement; Matter-Antimatter Asymmetry, Dark Matter; Black Holes; New Vacuum; Baryogenesis; Inflation; WIMPs.
