Abstract

We propose a new mechanism for baryogenesis, in which baryon asymmetry is generated by absorption of a new particle $X$ carrying baryon number onto Primordial Black Holes (PBHs). Due to CP violation of $X$ and $X$ scattering with the plasma surrounding PBHs, the two conjugate particles are differently absorbed by PBHs, leading to the production of an asymmetry in the $X$ sector. The production is halted by PBH evaporation, after which the asymmetry is transferred into the baryonic sector via $X$ decay. We show that this mechanism can produce the correct amount of asymmetry without violating the known constraints on PBHs concentration. Furthermore, we provide a systematic study of the parameter space, identifying the regions leading to the production of the correct baryon asymmetry.
