Leptogenesis with small violation of B −
نویسندگان
چکیده
We analyze leptogenesis in the context of seesaw models with almost conserved lepton number, focusing on the L-conserving contribution to the flavoured CP asymmetries. We find that, contrary to previous claims, successful leptogenesis is feasible for masses of the lightest heavy neutrino as low as M1 ∼ 106 GeV, without resorting to the resonant enhancement of the CP asymmetry for strongly degenerate heavy neutrinos. This lower limit renders thermal leptogenesis compatible with the gravitino bound in supersymmetric scenarios.

Neutrino Mass Matrix with Two Zeros and Leptogenesis
The leptogenesis is studied in the neutrino mass matrix with two zeros, which reduces the number of independent phases of the CP violation. These texture zeros are decomposed into the Dirac neutrino mass matrix and the right-handed Majorana one in the see-saw mechanism. It is found that there are six textures for the Dirac neutrino mass matrix, among which one texture with three zeros has three...
متن کاملA relation between CP violation of low energy and leptogenesis
CP violation at low energy is observed in K and B system. In the future neutrino oscillation experiments , CP asymmetry of the neutrino oscillations P (νi → νj) 6= P (ν̄i → ν̄j) may be also measured. Our question is how low energy CP violation measurements are related to CP violation for Baryon number asymmetry. Fukugita and Yanagida proposed a scenario for Baryon number asymmetry based on the se...
متن کاملSensitivity of the baryon asymmetry produced by leptogenesis to low energy CP violation
If the baryon asymmetry of the Universe is produced by leptogenesis, CP violation is required in the lepton sector. In the seesaw extension of the Standard Model with three hierarchical righthanded neutrinos, we show that the baryon asymmetry is insensitive to the PMNS phases: thermal leptogenesis can work for any value of the observable phases. This result was well-known when there are no flav...
متن کاملLeptogenesis without violation of B − L
We study the possibility of generating the observed baryon asymmetry via leptogenesis in the decay of heavy Standard Model singlet fermions which carry lepton number, in a framework without Majorana masses above the electroweak scale. Such scenario does not contain any source of total lepton number violation besides the Standard Model sphalerons, and the baryon asymmetry is generated by the int...
متن کاملFermion masses , Leptogenesis and Supersymmetric SO ( 10 ) Unification
Current neutrino oscillation data indicate the existence of two large lepton mixing angles, while Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix elements are all small. Here we show how supersymmetric SO(10) with extra chiral singlets can easily reconcile large lepton mixing angles with small quark mixing angles within the framework of the successful Fritzsch ansatz. Moreover we show how this is fully consistent wit...
