Leptogenesis at the TeV scale
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a general description of the problems encountered when attempting to build a simple model of leptogenesis and hence of baryogenesis at an energy scale as low as 1-10 TeV. We consider three possible lepton asymmetry enhancement mechanisms in the out-of-equilibrium decay scenario, emphasizing the three body decay mechanism as most natural. A new model based on the three body decays of righthanded neutrinos is proposed. It naturally allows both leptogenesis and neutrino mass generation at low scale. Also discussed is the possibility of inducing leptogenesis at low scale in existing neutrino mass models: Fukugita-Yanagida model, Higgs triplet model, Zee model and models with R-parity violation.

TeV scale model for neutrino masses, dark matter and leptogenesis
We present a TeV scale model for leptogenesis where the origin of neutrino masses are independent of the scale of leptogenesis. As a result, the model could be extended to explain dark matter, neutrino masses and leptogenesis at the TeV scale. The most attractive feature of this model is that it predicts a few hundred GeV triplet Higgs scalar that can be tested at LHC or ILC.
متن کاملPurely Flavored Leptogenesis at the Tev Scale
I study variations of the standard leptogenesis scenario that can arise if an additional mass scale related to the breaking of some new symmetry is present below the mass MN1 of the lightest right-handed Majorana neutrino. I present a particular realization of this scheme that allows for leptogenesis at the TeV scale. In this realization the baryon asymmetry is exclusively due to flavor effects.
متن کاملTeV scale resonant leptogenesis from supersymmetry breaking
We propose a model of TeV-scale resonant leptogenesis based upon recent models of the generation of light neutrino masses from supersymmetry-breaking effects with TeV-scale right-handed (rhd) neutrinos, Ni. The model leads to large cosmological lepton asymmetries via the resonant behaviour of the one-loop self-energy contribution to Ni decay. Our model addresses the primary problems of previous...
متن کاملA scenario for leptogenesis at the TeV scale
We propose a scenario of thermal leptogenesis at the TeV scale in the context of an extension of the Standard Model with 4 generations. We also add one right-handed Majorana neutrino for each generation to generate left handed neutrino masses via see-saw. The rôle of the fourth lepton doublet is not much different from that of a supersymmetric partner, so the leptogenesis consequences of a four...
متن کاملLow-scale leptogenesis and soft supersymmetry breaking.
We investigate the possibility of low-scale leptogenesis in the minimal supersymmetric standard model extended with right-handed (s)neutrinos. We demonstrate that successful leptogenesis can be easily achieved at a scale as low as approximately TeV where lepton number and CP violation comes from soft supersymmetry breaking terms. The scenario is shown to be compatible with neutrino masses data.
