GUT, Neutrinos, and Baryogenesis
نویسنده
چکیده
It is an exciting time for flavor physics. In this talk, I discuss recent topics in baryogenesis and leptogenesis in light of new data, and implications in B and neutrino physics. I also discuss current situation of grand unified theories concerning coupling unification, proton decay, and indirect consequences in lepton flavor violation and B physics. I explain attempts to understand the origin of flavor based on flavor symmetry, in particular “anarchy” in neutrinos.

Baryogenesis via lepton number violation in Anti-GUT model
We study the baryogenesis via lepton number violation in the model of Anti-GUT. The origin of the baryogenesis is the existence of right-handed Majorana neutrinos which decay in a C, CP and lepton number violation way. The baryon number asymmetry is calculated in the extended Anti-GUT model which is only able to predict order of magnitude-wise. We predicted baryon number to entropy ratio, YB = ...

In the presence of anomaly induced sphaleron process, only a B − L asymmetry can be partially converted to the baryon asymmetry while any B+L asymmetry would be completely erased. Thus in any successful baryogenesis theories, B−L is usually violated above the electroweak scale to explain the observed matter-antimatter asymmetry of the universe. However, if any lepton asymmetry is not affected b...
متن کاملHeavy Majorana Neutrinos and Baryogenesis ∗
The scenario of baryogenesis through leptogenesis is reviewed in models involving heavy Majorana neutrinos. The various mechanisms of CP violation occurring in the outof-equilibrium lepton-number-violating decays of heavy Majorana neutrinos are studied within a resummation approach to unstable-particle mixing. It is explicitly demonstrated how the resummation approach preserves crucial field-th...

In the standard model and most of its extensions the electroweak transition is too weak to affect the cosmological baryon asymmetry. Due to sphaleron processes baryogenesis in the high-temperature, symmetric phase of the standard model is closely related to neutrino properties. The experimental indications for very small neutrino masses from the solar and the atmospheric neutrino deficits favou...
متن کاملBaryogenesis through lepton number violation
The most promising scenarios of baryogenesis seems to be the one through lepton number violation. Lepton number violation through a Majarana mass of the right-handed neutrinos can generate a lepton asymmetry of the universe when the righthanded neutrinos decay. The left-handed neutrinos get small Majorana masses through see-saw mechanism in these models. A triplet higgs scalar violating lepton ...
