Abstract

We investigate the effects of baryon/anti-baryon inhomogeneity on primordial nucleosynthesis. Recent work claims that electroweak baryogenesis could give rise to distinct regions of net baryon and anti-baryon number, which could survive until the nucleosynthesis epoch. We discuss neutron diffusion effects on nucleosynthesis yields in these models and speculate on the prospects for obtaining constraints.
