Research Abstract |
We study the generation and the time development of lepton number of universe. One can compute time evolution of the particle number using non-equilibrium quantum field theory. Assuming that the asymmetry of particle number and anti-particle number exists at initial time, we include the mass term which does not conserve the particle number. Then, particleand anti-particle oscillation occurs. In our calculation with quantum field theory, as time goes, the asymmetry shows damping oscillation behavior and does not return to the initial value. This phenomenon occurs because there are infinite numbers of the oscillation modes with variety of their periods in the quantum field theory calculation. This is a new discovery of the project related to the time evolution of lepton number of universe.
