Leptogenesis in a Realistic Supersymmetric Model of Inflation with a Low Reheat Temperature
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss leptogenesis in a realistic supersymmetric model of inflation with a low reheat temperature 1-10 GeV. The lepton asymmetry is generated by a decaying right handed sneutrino, which is produced after inflation during preheating. The inflationary model is based on a simple variant of the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard model (NMSSM) which solves the μ problem, called φNMSSM, where the additional singlet φ plays the role of the inflaton in hybrid (or inverted hybrid) type models. The model is invariant under an approximate Peccei-Quinn symmetry which also solves the strong CP problem, and leads to an invisible axion with interesting cosmological consequences. We show how the baryon number of the universe and the nature of cold dark matter are determined by the same parameters controlling the strong CP problem, the μ problem and the neutrino masses and mixing angles.

Weak-scale Implications of Thermal Leptogenesis in Susy
Thermal leptogenesis is an attractive mechanism for generating the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. However, in supersymmetric models, the parameter space is severely restricted by the gravitino bound on the reheat temperature TRH . Using a parametrisation of the seesaw in terms of left-handed inputs, which are related to weak-scale observables in mSUGRA, the low-energy footprints of thermal l...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Thermalization and Quasi-Thermal Universe: Consequences for Gravitinos and Leptogenesis
Motivated by our earlier paper [1], we discuss how the infamous gravitino problem has a natural built in solution within supersymmetry. Supersymmetry allows a large number of flat directions made up of gauge invariant combinations of squarks and sleptons. Out of many at least one generically obtains a large vacuum expectation value during inflation. Gauge bosons and Gauginos then obtain large m...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Hybrid Inflation
The non-supersymmetric and supersymmetric versions of hybrid inflation are summarized. In the latter, the necessary inclination along the inflationary trajectory is provided by radiative corrections. Supersymmetric hybrid inflation (with its extensions) is an extremely ‘natural’ inflationary scenario. The reasons are that it does not require ‘tiny’ parameters, its superpotential has the most ge...
متن کاملSneutrino Hybrid Inflation
We review the scenario of sneutrino hybrid inflation, where one of the singlet sneutrinos, the superpartners of the right-handed neutrinos, plays the role of the inflaton. In a minimal model of sneutrino hybrid inflation, the spectral index is given by ns ≈ 1 + 2γ . With γ = 0.025± 0.01 constrained by WMAP, a running spectral index |dns/dlnk|≪ |γ| and a tensor-to-scalar ratio r ≪ γ2 are predict...
متن کاملFD-Term Hybrid Inflation with Electroweak-Scale Lepton Number Violation
We study F -term hybrid inflation in a novel supersymmetric extension of the SM with a subdominant Fayet–Iliopoulos D-term. We call this particular form of inflation, in short, FD-term hybrid inflation. The proposed model ties the μ-parameter of the MSSM to an SO(3)-symmetric Majorana massmN , through the vacuum expectation value of the inflaton field. The late decays of the ultraheavy particle...
