摘要：

We point out that the baryon-number asymmetry in the Universe is erased by the sphaleron effect just below the electroweak phase transition irrespective of the primordial baryon- and lepton-number asymmetry, if there exists a Majorana-type interaction. The requirement to avoid this happening leads to the condition that m (Majorana)<50 keV for all species of neutrions, regardless of whether or not neutrinos are stable. © 1990 The American Physical Society.
