Sakharov condition states both C and CP violation is necessary for baryogenesis. Now consider, for example, a theory with B-number violating interaction and C-violation. Therefore, if p→e+γ is an allowed B-violating process, C-violation would imply that the C-conjugated process ˉp→e−γ would occur at a different rate. Shouldn't therefore, C-violation be sufficient for baryogenesis? Why do we also need CP-violation?
Answer
Assume You have only C-violation. Then it implies that the rate Γ of hypothetical process p−→e−γ won't be equal to the rate of hypothetical process p+→e+γ, but only for the given helicities L/R. Say, Γ(p+L→e+RγL)≠Γ(p−L→e−RγL),
But les't assume that such processes respect CP-symmetry, (added) under which the left/right particle is changed on right/left antipatrticle. Then there must be Γ(p−L→e−RγL)=Γ(p+R→e+LγR)
Therefore we require the CP-asymmetry.
