Right-Handed Sector Leptogenesis
نویسنده
چکیده
Instead of creating the observed baryon asymmetry of the universe by the decay of right-handed (RH) neutrinos to left-handed leptons, we propose to generate it dominantly by the decay of the RH neutrinos to RH leptons. This mechanism turns out to be successful in large regions of parameter space. It may work, in particular, at a scale as low as ∼ TeV, with no need to invoke quasi-degenerate RH neutrino masses to resonantly enhance the asymmetry. Such a possibility can be probed experimentally by the observation at colliders of a singlet charged Higgs particle and of RH neutrinos. Other mechanisms which may lead to successful leptogenesis from the RH lepton sector interactions are also briefly presented. The incorporation of these scenarios in left-right symmetric and unified models is discussed. SACLAY-T06/024, UCRHEP-T408

Towards constraints on the SUSY seesaw from flavour-dependent leptogenesis
We systematically investigate constraints on the parameters of the supersymmetric type-I seesaw mechanism from the requirement of successful thermal leptogenesis in the presence of upper bounds on the reheat temperature TRH of the early Universe. To this end, we solve the flavour-dependent Boltzmann equations in the MSSM, extended to include reheating. With conservative bounds on TRH, leading t...
متن کاملLeptogenesis-MNS Link in Unified Models with Natural Neutrino Mass Hierarchy
We discuss the relation between leptogenesis and the MNS phases in the class of see-saw models called light sequential dominance in which the right-handed neutrinos dominate sequentially, with the dominant right-handed neutrino being the lightest one. The heaviest right-handed neutrino then decouples, leaving effectively two righthanded neutrinos. Light sequential dominance is motivated by SO(1...
متن کامل(Pseudo)-Dirac neutrinos and leptogenesis
We discuss how Dirac neutrinos can naturally be generated in supersymmetry and how they allow for an Affleck-Dine leptogenesis scenario, in which a leftright asymmetry is generated in the sneutrino sector, the left part of which is transferred to a baryon asymmetry via sphaleron transitions. No exotic fields need to be added to the MSSM other than the right-handed neutrino.
متن کاملModel for fluctuating inflaton coupling: sneutrino induced adiabatic perturbations and nonthermal leptogenesis.
We discuss a unique possibility of generating adiabatic density perturbations and leptogenesis from the spatial fluctuations of the inflaton decay rate. The key assumption is that the initial isocurvature perturbations are created in the right-handed sneutrino sector during inflation which is then converted into adiabatic perturbations when the inflaton decays. We discuss distinct imprints on t...
متن کاملLeptogenesis from Right-handed Neutrino Decays to Right-handed Leptons
We investigate what would be the consequences for leptogenesis of the existence of a charged SU(2)L singlet scalar δ . If such a scalar particle exists it allows the right-handed neutrinos to couple not only to left-handed lepton and Higgs doublets as in ordinary leptogenesis, but also to a right-handed charged lepton and a δ. This provides a new source of leptogenesis which can be successful i...
