8 Leptogenesis , Z ′ bosons , and the reheating temperature of the Universe
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the impact for leptogenesis of new U(1) gauge bosons coupled to the heavy Majorana neutrinos. They can significantly enhance the efficiency of thermal scenarios in the weak washout regime as long as the Z ′ masses are not much larger than the reheating temperature (MZ′ < 10Trh), with the highest efficiencies obtained for Z ′ bosons considerably heavier than the heavy neutrinos (MZ′ & 100M1). We show how the allowed region of the parameter space is modified in the presence of a Z ′ and we also obtain the minimum reheating temperature that is required for these models to be successful.

Thermal Leptogenesis and Gauge Mediation
We show that a mini-thermal inflation occurs naturally in a class of gauge mediation models of supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking, provided that the reheating temperature TR of the primary inflation is much higher than the SUSY-breaking scale, say TR > 1010 GeV. The reheating process of the thermal inflation produces an amount of entropy, which dilutes the number density of relic gravitinos. This di...
متن کاملReheating-temperature independence of cosmological baryon asymmetry in Affleck-Dine leptogenesis
In this paper we point out that the cosmological baryon asymmetry in our universe is generated almost independently of the reheating temperature TR in Affleck-Dine leptogenesis and it is determined mainly by the mass of the lightest neutrino, mν1, in a wide range of the reheating temperature TR ≃ 105–1012 GeV. The present baryon asymmetry predicts the mν1 in a narrow region, mν1 ≃ (0.3– 1) × 10...
متن کاملSupermassive gravitinos, dark matter, leptogenesis and flat direction baryogenesis
In general the gravitino mass and/or the soft supersymmetry breaking masses in the observable sector can be much larger than the TeV scale. Depending on the relation between the masses, new important channels for gravitino production in the early Universe can arise. Gravitinos with a mass above 50 TeV decay before big bang nucleosynthesis, which leads to relaxation of the well known bound on th...
متن کاملTowards a complete theory of thermal leptogenesis in the SM and MSSM
We perform a thorough study of thermal leptogenesis adding finite temperature effects, RGE corrections, scatterings involving gauge bosons and by properly avoiding overcounting on-shell processes. Assuming hierarchical right-handed neutrinos with arbitrary abundancy, successful leptogenesis can be achieved if left-handed neutrinos are lighter than 0.13 eV and right-handed neutrinos heavier than...
متن کاملLeptogenesis in Inflationary Universe
We investigate the leptogenesis via decays of heavy Majorana neutrinos which are produced non-thermally in inflaton decays. We make a comprehensive study on the leptogenesis assuming various supersymmetric (SUSY) models for hybrid, new and topological inflations. For an estimation of the lepton asymmetry we adopt the Froggatt-Nielsen mechanism for mass matrices of quarks and leptons. We find th...
