Observable Isocurvature Fluctuations from the Affleck-Dine Condensate
Preprint
- 19 November 1998
Abstract
In D-term inflation models, Affleck-Dine baryogenesis produces isocurvature density fluctuations. These can be perturbations in the baryon number, or, in the case where the present neutralino density comes directly from B-ball decay, perturbations in the number of dark matter neutralinos. The latter case results in a large enhancement of the isocurvature perturbation. The requirement that the deviation of the adiabatic perturbations from scale invariance due to the Affleck-Dine field is not too large then imposes a lower bound on the magnitude of the isocurvature fluctuation of about $10^{-2}$ times the adiabatic perturbation. This should be observable by MAP and PLANCK.
