Soft leptogenesis in the inverse seesaw model
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider leptogenesis induced by soft supersymmetry breaking terms (“soft leptogenesis”), in the context of the inverse seesaw mechanism. In this model there are lepton number (L) conserving and L-violating soft supersymmetry-breaking B-terms involving the singlet sneutrinos which, together with the – generically small– L-violating parameter responsible of the neutrino mass, give a small mass splitting between the four singlet sneutrino states of a single generation. In combination with the trilinear soft supersymmetry breaking terms they also provide new CP violating phases needed to generate a lepton asymmetry in the singlet sneutrino decays. We obtain that in this scenario the lepton asymmetry is proportional to the L-conserving soft supersymmetry-breaking B-term, and it is not suppressed by the L-violating parameters. Consequently we find that, as in the standard see-saw case, this mechanism can lead to sucessful leptogenesis only for relatively small value of the relevant soft bilinear coupling. The right-handed neutrino masses can be sufficiently low to elude the gravitino problem. Also the corresponding Yukawa couplings involving the lightest of the right-handed neutrinos are constrained to be ∑ |Y1k| . 10−7 which generically implies that the neutrino mass spectrum has to be strongly hierarchical.

Electron EDM and soft leptogenesis in supersymmetric B − L extension of the standard model
We analyze the connection between electric dipole moment of the electron and the soft leptogenesis in supersymmetric B−L extension of the standard model. In this model, the B−L symmetry is radiatively broken at TeV scale. Therefore, it is a natural framework for low scale seesaw mechanism and also for implementing the soft leptogenesis. We show that the phases of trilinear soft SUSY breaking co...
متن کاملCP Violation in the SUSY Seesaw: Leptogenesis and Low Energy
We suppose that the baryon asymmetry is produced by thermal leptogenesis (with flavour effects), at temperatures∼ 109−1010 GeV, in the supersymmetric seesaw with universal and real soft terms. The parameter space is restricted by assuming that lα → lβγ processes will be seen in upcoming experiments. We study the sensitivity of the baryon asymmetry to the phases of the lepton mixing matrix, and ...
متن کاملVarious Realizations of Leptogenesis and Neutrino Mass Constraints
Following the recent convincing evidence for neutrino oscillations, leptogenesis has become a well motivated possible explanation of the origin of the baryon asymmetry of the universe. In these proceedings, after a short introduction on the three basic ingredients of leptogenesis, we will extend the discussion of Ref. along two main directions. First, in the framework of the usual seesaw model ...

We study CP violation in the lepton sector of the supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model with three generations of massive singlet neutrinos with Yukawa couplings Yν to lepton doublets, in a minimal seesaw model for light neutrino masses and mixing. This model contains six physical CP-violating parameters, namely the phase δ observable in oscillations between light neutrino species, two...
متن کاملLeptogenesis in the type III seesaw mechanism
It is shown that the type III seesaw mechanism proposed recently can have certain advantages over the conventional (or type I) seesaw mechanism for leptogenesis. In particular a resonant enhancement of leptogenesis via heavy quasi-Dirac right-handed neutrino pairs can occur without a special flavor form or “texture” of the mass matrices being assumed. Some of the requirements for neutrino mixin...
