Neutrino masses and baryogenesis in SO(10) unified theories
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on some phenomenological implications of a class of unified models based on SO(10) gauge group, with intermediate symmetry group containing SU(2)R. Interesting predictions for neutrino masses are discussed, which are relevant both for solar neutrino and dark matter problems, as well as a model for the formation of the baryon asymmetry of the universe required by primordial nucleosynthesis.

Resurrection of grand unified theory baryogenesis.
A "new" scenario is proposed for baryogenesis. We show that the delayed decay of colored Higgs particles in grand unified theories may generate an excess baryon number of the empirically desired amount, if the mass of the heaviest neutrino is in the range 0.02 eV<m(nu(3))<0.8 eV, provided that neutrinos are of the Majorana type. The scenario accommodates the case of degenerate neutrino masses, ...

متن کاملInflation, Neutrino Baryogenesis, and (S)Neutrino-Induced Baryogenesis
We evaluate the constraints that the COBE observations put on baryogenesis in inflationary cosmologies.We consider the supersymmetric version of the proposal of Fukugita and Yanagida, that the baryon asymmetry of the universe is created by nonperturbative electroweak reprocessing of a lepton asymmetry generated in the decay of heavy right handed see-saw (s)neutrinos. We review our recent propos...
متن کاملNeutrino Mass and Grand Unification
Seesaw mechanism appears to be the simplest and most appealing way to understand small neutrino masses observed in recent experiments. It introduces three right handed neutrinos with heavy masses to the standard model, with at least one mass required by data to be close to the scale of conventional grand unified theories. This may be a hint that the new physics scale implied by neutrino masses ...
