Talk:Baryon number

Chiral Anomaly
I find the word "However" in the following sentences a bit mysterious :

An exception is the chiral anomaly. However, sphalerons are not all that common. Electroweak sphalerons can only change the baryon number by 3. The article on chiral anomaly does not contain the word sphaleron and vice-versa. A sentence explaining how they are related would help. Pkoppenb (talk) 08:28, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Missing references
No statement in this article has a citation. The article has no references. Please fix. --PointedEars (talk) 07:33, 14 July 2013 (UTC)


 * I have added the first reference. Wikipedia is the encyclopedia anyone can edit, including you. If an article doesn't have a reference, nothing is stopping you from being the one to start adding some. Jason Quinn (talk) 07:26, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

Baryon asymmetry
Isn't Baryon asymmetry evidence against the statement in the lead that baryon number is strictly conserved? QuoJar (talk) 15:02, 24 October 2018 (UTC)

Black holes
Aren't black holes another exception to conservation of baryon number? They lose almost all their energy in the form of extremely low-energy photons, and they're not likely to emit anywhere near as many baryons as go into them. — DanielLC 02:45, 29 November 2019 (UTC)
