Flavoured Soft Leptogenesis

چکیده
We study the impact of flavour in “soft leptogenesis” (leptogenesis induced by soft supersymmetry breaking terms). We address the question of how flavour effects can affect the region of parameters in which successful soft leptogenesis induced by CP violation in the right-handed sneutrino mixing is possible. We find that for decays which occur in the intermediate to strong washout regimes for all flavours, the produced total B − L asymmetry can be up to a factor O(30) larger than the one predicted with flavour effects being neglected. This enhancement, permits slightly larger values of the required lepton violating soft bilinear term.

Leptogenesis with small violation of B −
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 degen...
متن کاملCP Violation and Lightest Neutrino Mass Effects in Thermal Leptogenesis
Effects of the lightest neutrino mass in “flavoured” leptogenesis when the CPviolation necessary for the generation of the baryon asymmetry of the Universe is due exclusively to the Dirac and/or Majorana phases in the neutrino mixing matrix U are discussed. The type I see-saw scenario with three heavy right-handed Majorana neutrinos having hierarchical spectrum is considered. The “orthogonal” p...
متن کاملSoft Leptogenesis
We study “soft leptogenesis”, a new mechanism of leptogenesis which does not require flavour mixing among the right-handed neutrinos. Supersymmetry softbreaking terms give a small mass splitting between the CP-even and CP-odd righthanded sneutrino states of a single generation and provide a CP-violating phase sufficient to generate a lepton asymmetry. The mechanism is successful if the leptonvi...
متن کاملPhenomenological Consequences of Soft Leptogenesis
Soft supersymmetry breaking terms involving heavy singlet sneutrinos can be the dominant source of leptogenesis. The relevant range of parameters is different from standard leptogenesis: a lighter Majorana mass, M . 10 GeV (allowing a solution of the gravitino problem), and smaller Yukawa couplings, YN . 10 . We investigate whether the various couplings of the singlet sneutrinos, which are cons...
متن کاملHigh fluoride and low pH level have been detected in popular flavoured beverages in Malaysia
Objective: In children, excessive ingestion of fluoride from different sources including bottled drinking water and flavoured beverages or soft drinks can lead to the development of dental fluorosis. In addition, the pH level of beverages is important. Low pH can cause dental erosion. In this study we explore the fluoride content and pH level of certain popular beverages available in Malaysian ...
