Abstract
Refined kinematical constraints are presented for heavy boson decay to generate a cosmological baryon asymmetry. A new possibility of baryon production via Higgs decay instead of guage boson decay is closely examined.

Magnitude of the cosmological baryon asymmetry
We have examined the magnitude of the cosmological baryon asymmetry arising in several of the standard models of $\mathrm{CP}$ violation. Agreement with the experimental baryon ...

The time evolution of the baryon asymmetry of the universe due to superheavy Higgs bosons is obtained by integrating the Boltzmann equations. The interactions included are decay...

General formulas are given for the mean net baryon number produced in the decay of superheavy scalar or vector bosons. These results are used to make rough numerical estimates o...

Cosmological considerations imply that the Weinberg-Salam Higgs boson mass ${m}_{\mathrm{H}}\ensuremath{\gtrsim}9$ GeV. If this bound were violated, the symmetry-breaking phase ...
