Impact on Nucleosyn<strong>the</strong>sis I<br />

● Baryon-to-photon ratio is <strong>in</strong>fluenced by <strong>QCD</strong><br />

<strong>phase</strong> <strong>transition</strong><br />

– Quarks electrically charged<br />

● Baryon distribution can also be <strong>in</strong>fluenced<br />

– Baryon density <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> high-temperature <strong>phase</strong><br />

higher<br />

– Light quarks vs. heavy baryons<br />

● 1 st order <strong>phase</strong> <strong>transition</strong> leads to bubble<br />
