7 Gravitinos: spin- 3 2 partner of graviton gravitino problem in generic SUGRA models: overproduction of G followed by late G decay can destroy successful BBN predictions unless T R < 5 GeV (see Kawasaki, Kohri, Moroi, Yotsuyanagi; Cybert, Ellis, Fields, Olive; Jedamzik) Howard Baer, PittPAC dark matter meeting, University of Pittsburgh, November 15,

16 Various leptogenesis scenarios WMAP observation: n b /s 0.9 : how to generate? SM EW baryogenesis ruled out; SUSY EWB nearly so Thermal leptogenesis very attractive but needs T R > mn1 > 2 9 GeV (Buchmuller, Plumacher); Naive conflict with upper bound on T R from BBN/gravitino problem Alternatively, one may have non-thermal leptogenesis where inflaton φ N i N i decay (Lazarides, Shafi; Kumekawa, Moroi, Yanagida) additional source of N i in early universe allows lower T R : ( ) ( ) n B s 8.2 TR 2mN1 ( mν3 ) 11 6 δ eff (2) GeV 0.05 ev Also, AD leptogenesis in φ = Hl D-flat direction: wide range of T R allowed (Dine, Randall, Thomas; Murayama, Yanagida) m φ Howard Baer, PittPAC dark matter meeting, University of Pittsburgh, November 15,

28 What if mã > m ez1 so Z 1 = LSP? Expect mixed axion/neutralino CDM: which will dominate? Neutralinos produced thermally as usual (RD, MD or DD universe) Axino production and decay (e.g. ã Z 1 γ) will augment neutralino production. Decay produced Z 1 s at temp T D = ΓãM P /(π 2 g (T D )/90) 1/4 can re-annihilate if σv n e Z 1 (T D ) > H(T D ) Axions produced as usual via vacuum misalignment (but evaluate in RD, MD or DD universe); can be diluted by entropy from axino decay Neglecting saxions, expect to work best for models with too low of usual thermal abundance (wino-like or higgsino-like neutralinos) HB, Lessa, Rajagopalan, Sreethawong, JCAP16 (2011) 031 Howard Baer, PittPAC dark matter meeting, University of Pittsburgh, November 15,
