Realistic Dirac leptogenesis.

چکیده
We present a model of leptogenesis that preserves lepton number. The model maintains the important feature of more traditional leptogenesis scenarios: The decaying particles that provide the CP violation necessary for baryogenesis also provide the explanation for the smallness of the neutrino Yukawa couplings. This model clearly demonstrates that, contrary to conventional wisdom, neutrinos need not be Majorana in nature in order to help explain the baryon asymmetry of the universe.

(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 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...
متن کاملViability of Dirac phase leptogenesis
We discuss the conditions for a non-vanishing Dirac phase δ and mixing angle θ13, sources of CP violation in neutrino oscillations, to be uniquely responsible for the observed matter-antimatter asymmetry of the universe through leptogenesis. We show that this scenario, that we call δ-leptogenesis, is viable when the degenerate limit (DL) for the heavy right-handed (RH) neutrino spectrum is cons...
متن کاملThe Minimal Phantom Sector of the Standard Model: Higgs Phenomenology and Dirac Leptogenesis
We propose the minimal, lepton-number conserving, SU(3)c×SU(2)L×U(1)Y gaugesinglet, or phantom, extension of the Standard Model. The extension is natural in the sense that all couplings are of O(1) or forbidden due to a phantom sector global U(1)D symmetry, and basically imitates the standard Majorana see-saw mechanism. Spontaneous breaking of the U(1)D symmetry triggers consistent electroweak ...
متن کاملLeptogenesis in Neutrino Textures with Two Zeros
The leptogenesis is studied in the neutrino textures with two zeros, which reduce the number of independent phases of the CP violation. The phenomenological favored neutrino textures with two zeros are decomposed into the Dirac neutrino mass matrix and the right-handed Majorana one in the see-saw mechanism. Putting the condition to suppress the μ → eγ decay enough, the texture zeros of the Dira...
