Resumen
We study washout processes in post-sphaleron baryogenesis, a mechanism where the matter-antimatter asymmetry is generated in the decay of exotic particles after the electroweak phase transition. In particular we focus, in a quite model independent way, on those scattering processes that have an amplitude proportional to the CP asymmetry. We find that when the scatterings involve only massless particles, the washouts are very severe for light decaying particles (with masses below a few hundred of GeV) and successful baryogenesis is only possible in a small portion of parameter space. Instead, if even a very light particle participates in these processes, the allowed region of parameter space opens considerably, although the final amount of baryon asymmetry may differ significantly from the expression which is typically used and neglects washouts. Furthermore, we analyze washouts from the non-thermal spectrum of energetic particles produced in cascade decays and indicate in which models they can be relevant.
