Title: Mesogenesis 

Abstract: What is the Universe made of?  Why do complex structures such as ourselves exist?  I will present my proposal for simultaneously solving both these outstanding mysteries of particle physics: Mesogenesis, which generates both the observed asymmetry of matter over antimatter in the early Universe, and the population of Dark Matter particles.  Mechanisms of Mesogenesis generate an asymmetry through strongly coupled Standard Model particles known as mesons. Excitingly, this makes Mesogenesis highly testable and it can be searched for at the Large Hadron Collider, electron-positron colliders, with astrophysical signals and even with large volume neutrino experiments.  Many experimental searches are currently underway to test Mesogenesis. After giving some background and discussing the requirements for generating the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the early Universe,  I will give an overview of the various Mesogenesis mechanisms and the unique way in which they meet these requirements. I will then present the exciting landscape of experimental signals and ongoing search efforts.
