N2 - It is usually assumed that the order H-2 corrections to the SUSY-breaking mass squared terms in the early Universe must he negative in order to allow the Affleck-Dine mechanism to work. We reconsider this assumption in the context of D-term inflation models for the case where the mass squared term has a correction cH(2) with c > 0. We show that, in general, the baryon asymmetry is likely to be too small if c > 9/16. However, for c as large as 0.5 the observed baryon asymmetry can be readily generated; in particular, for d = 6 directions the observed asymmetry can be produced for a wide range of reheating temperatures, in contrast with the case of negative H-2 corrections which require a reheating temperature around 1 GeV.
