Thermal Gravitino Production and Collider Tests of Leptogenesis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Considering gravitino dark matter scenarios, we obtain the full gauge-invariant result for the relic density of thermally produced gravitinos to leading order in the Standard Model gauge couplings. For the temperatures required by thermal leptogenesis, we find gaugino mass bounds which will be probed at future colliders. We show that a conceivable determination of the gravitino mass will allow for a unique test of the viability of thermal leptogenesis in the laboratory.

Leptogenesis and Gravitino Dark Matter
We study implications of thermal leptogenesis for the superparticle mass spectrum. A consistent picture is obtained if the lightest superparticle is the gravitino, which can be the dominant component of cold dark matter. In the case of a long-lived charged scalar lepton as next-to-lightest superparticle, supergravity can be tested at the next generation of colliders, LHC and ILC.
متن کاملGravitino Production in the Early Universe and Its Implications to Particle Cosmology
Effects of the unstable gravitino on the big-bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) and its implications to particle cosmology are discussed. If the gravitino mass is smaller than ∼ 20 TeV, lifetime of the gravitino becomes longer than ∼ 1 sec and its decay may spoil the success of the standard BBN. In order to avoid such a problem, upper bound on the reheating temperature after the inflation is obtained, ...
متن کاملEluding the BBN constraints on the stable gravitino
We investigate how late-time entropy production weakens the Big-Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) constraints on the gravitino as lightest superparticle with a charged slepton as next-to-lightest superparticle. We find that with a moderate amount of entropy production, the BBN constraints can be eluded for most of the parameter space relevant for the discovery of the gravitino. This is encouraging for...
متن کاملGravitino Dark Matter in R-Parity Breaking Vacua
We show that in the case of small R-parity and lepton number breaking couplings, primordial nucleosynthesis, thermal leptogenesis and gravitino dark matter are naturally consistent for gravitino masses m3/2 >∼ 5 GeV. We present a model where R-parity breaking is tied to B-L breaking, which predicts the needed small couplings. The metastable next-to-lightest superparticle has a decay length that...
متن کاملGravitino Dark Matter in the CMSSM With Improved Constraints from BBN
In the framework of the Constrained MSSM we re–examine the gravitino as the lightest superpartner and a candidate for cold dark matter in the Universe. Unlike in most of other recent studies, we include both a thermal contribution to its relic population from scatterings in the plasma and a non–thermal one from neutralino or stau decays after freeze–out. Relative to a previous analysis [1] we u...
