Abstract

I discuss a new scenario called Hylogenesis (hylo=matter) that explains the baryon and dark matter densities of Universe in a unified way. Early universe dynamics generate the baryon asymmetry and an equal antibaryon asymmetry in a GeV-scale hidden sector. The hidden antibaryons are dark matter. Our model has a striking signature that dark matter can annihilate baryons, mimicking nucleon decay. I discuss the effective nucleon decay rates and implications for existing nucleon decay searches.
