Dark matter and Antimatter-matter

In summary: Thanks for the heads up.In summary, the baryogenesis solved the asymmetry between baryons and antibaryons.

We know that in the Baryogenesis happened a asymmetry between baryons and antibaryons.Here Is matter only BM(baryonic matter) or BM+DM.

If its only BM so we have extra DM which its a matter.So the Baryogenesis solved ? (Here of course it can't be solved cause there's a big difference between BM and DM but at least we have matter superiority)

Baryogenesis is the creation of baryons over anti-baryons (as the name suggests). Baryons are made of quarks and not even leptons are a priori included in baryogenesis.

There are theories where also the dark matter sector contains an asymmetry, which in those theories by design is related to the baryon asymmetry. The common name for theories of this sort is asymmetric dark matter (ADM).

I didnt noticed that. And I don't know why.

So there's a anti DM ? Is that violates or affects the curvature of universe (Cause there will be extra energy)

We do not know the answer to this question. In many theories, including the very popular SUSY neutralino, dark matter is its own anti-particle. In ADM models, DM is distinct from anti-DM and the asymmetry is such that there is no (or very little) anti-DM in the Universe today.

In most models, dark matter is made out of nearly equal parts matter and anti-matter, particles which only annihilate with one another slowly due to their weak interactions.

f there's anti DM, and DM decays antimatter, then If anti DM decays we will get matter.Which it explains why there's dark matter no anti DM and no anti mattet ?

The term "dark matter" typically refers to both matter and anti-matter components of any dark matter that may exist.

Also, by energy conservation and most often charge conservation, a particle cannot decay to its anti particle and something else. Some times you can have particle-antiparticle oscillations, but these go both ways.

One possibility, proposed at one time is DM as sterile neutrinos. Here is a relevant paper.

http://arxiv.org/abs/1306.4954

I haven't heard too much on this in the past two years. Though I do encounter its possibility in numerous SO(10) MSSM papers. I've been digging up some papers on the Pati-Salam subgroup. Which involves left-right hand chirality.My two better finds In this is the following

SO(10) A La Pati-Salam

http://arxiv.org/pdf/hep-ph/0204097
Another helpful article is this gem

The Phenomenology of Right Handed Neutrinos
http://arxiv.org/abs/1303.6912

from what I've read its still one possibility.

Possible evidence for sterile neutrinos was announced by two papers released nearly the same time in 2014- re:http://arxiv.org/abs/1402.2301 and http://arxiv.org/abs/1402.4119v1. They have been collectively cited nearly 400 times since release. The enthusiasm for sterile neutrinos as DM candidate particles has waned somewhat, but, remains in play.

Thanks I recall reading those papers but had lost track of them. Glad to see you kept the links to them.

You probably recall I was the one who brought them up last year.

Yep I do.
 

Related to Dark matter and Antimatter-matter

1. What is dark matter?

Dark matter is a type of matter that does not interact with light or other forms of electromagnetic radiation, making it invisible to telescopes. Its existence is inferred from its gravitational effects on visible matter in the universe.

2. How is dark matter different from regular matter?

Dark matter is different from regular matter because it does not emit or absorb light, making it undetectable using traditional methods. It also does not interact with the strong or weak nuclear forces, only the force of gravity.

3. What is the role of dark matter in the universe?

Dark matter is believed to make up about 85% of the total matter in the universe. Its gravitational pull helps to hold galaxies and galaxy clusters together, and it is also thought to play a role in the formation of structures in the universe.

4. What is antimatter-matter annihilation?

Antimatter-matter annihilation is a process in which a particle of matter and a particle of antimatter collide and are converted into energy. This process releases a large amount of energy, and is currently being studied for its potential use in propulsion systems for spacecraft.

5. Can antimatter-matter annihilation be used as a clean energy source?

While antimatter-matter annihilation does release a large amount of energy, it is currently not feasible as a clean energy source due to the difficulty and high cost of producing and containing antimatter. It also produces dangerous radiation and requires complex containment systems, making it currently impractical for widespread use as an energy source.
