Effects of reheating on leptogenesis

چکیده
We study the evolution of a cosmological baryon asymmetry in leptogenesis when the right-handed neutrinos are produced in inflaton decays. By performing a detailed numerical study over a broad range of inflaton-neutrino couplings we show that the resulting asymmetry can be larger by two orders of magnitude or more than in thermal leptogenesis, if the reheating temperature TRH is of the same order as the right-handed neutrino mass M1. Hence, the lower limit on the baryogenesis temperature obtained in thermal leptogenesis can be relaxed accordingly.

Towards a complete theory of thermal leptogenesis in the SM and MSSM
We perform a thorough study of thermal leptogenesis adding finite temperature effects, RGE corrections, scatterings involving gauge bosons and by properly avoiding overcounting on-shell processes. Assuming hierarchical right-handed neutrinos with arbitrary abundancy, successful leptogenesis can be achieved if left-handed neutrinos are lighter than 0.13 eV and right-handed neutrinos heavier than...
متن کاملThermal Leptogenesis and Gauge Mediation
We show that a mini-thermal inflation occurs naturally in a class of gauge mediation models of supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking, provided that the reheating temperature TR of the primary inflation is much higher than the SUSY-breaking scale, say TR > 1010 GeV. The reheating process of the thermal inflation produces an amount of entropy, which dilutes the number density of relic gravitinos. This di...
متن کاملReheating-temperature independence of cosmological baryon asymmetry in Affleck-Dine leptogenesis
In this paper we point out that the cosmological baryon asymmetry in our universe is generated almost independently of the reheating temperature TR in Affleck-Dine leptogenesis and it is determined mainly by the mass of the lightest neutrino, mν1, in a wide range of the reheating temperature TR ≃ 105–1012 GeV. The present baryon asymmetry predicts the mν1 in a narrow region, mν1 ≃ (0.3– 1) × 10...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Leptogenesis and the Gravitino Bound
Supersymmetric thermal leptogenesis with a hierarchical right-handed neutrino mass spectrum requires the mass of the lightest right-handed neutrino to be heavier than about 109 GeV. This is in conflict with the upper bound on the reheating temperature which is found by imposing that the gravitinos generated during the reheating stage after inflation do not jeopardize successful nucleosynthesis....
متن کاملGravitino dark matter and a high reheating temperature
Supersymmetry breaking mediated by gauge interactions is regarded an attractive option due to the lack of new sources of flavor changing neutral currents other than those already present in the Standard Model. In models with gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking (GMSB), the dark matter particle is the gravitino. It is produced both thermally in scatterings in the hot plasma and non-thermally fr...
