Abstract
Departures from thermal equilibrium which are likely to occur in an expanding universe allow the production of an appreciable net baryon density by processes which violate baryon-number conservation. It is shown that the resulting baryon to entropy ratio can be calculated in terms of purely microscopic quantities.
