Leptogenesis

S Davidson, E Nardi, Y Nir - Physics Reports, 2008 - Elsevier
Leptogenesis is a class of scenarios where the baryon asymmetry of the Universe is
produced from a lepton asymmetry generated in the decays of heavy singlet neutrinos. We …

Cosmological consequences of MSSM flat directions

K Enqvist, A Mazumdar - Physics Reports, 2003 - Elsevier
We review the cosmological implications of the flat directions of the minimally
supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). We describe how field condensates are created …

Resonant leptogenesis

A Pilaftsis, TEJ Underwood - Nuclear Physics B, 2004 - Elsevier
We study the scenario of thermal leptogenesis in which the leptonic asymmetries are
resonantly enhanced through the mixing of nearly degenerate heavy Majorana neutrinos …

Leptogenesis for pedestrians

W Buchmüller, P Di Bari, M Plümacher - Annals of Physics, 2005 - Elsevier
During the process of thermal leptogenesis temperature decreases by about one order of
magnitude while the baryon asymmetry is generated. We present an analytical description of …

Theory of neutrinos: a white paper

RN Mohapatra, S Antusch, KS Babu… - Reports on Progress …, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
This paper is a review of the present status of neutrino mass physics, which grew out of an
APS sponsored study of neutrinos in 2004. After a discussion of the present knowledge of …

Cosmic microwave background, matter–antimatter asymmetry and neutrino masses

W Buchmüller, P Di Bari, M Plümacher - Nuclear Physics B, 2002 - Elsevier
We study the implications of thermal leptogenesis for neutrino parameters. Assuming that
decays of N1, the lightest of the heavy Majorana neutrinos, initiate baryogenesis, we show …

Running neutrino masses, mixings and CP phases: Analytical results and phenomenological consequences

S Antusch, J Kersten, M Lindner, M Ratz - Nuclear Physics B, 2003 - Elsevier
We derive simple analytical formulae for the renormalization group running of neutrino
masses, leptonic mixing angles and CP phases, which allow an easy understanding of the …

The neutrino mass window for baryogenesis

W Buchmüller, P Di Bari, M Plümacher - Nuclear Physics B, 2003 - Elsevier
Interactions of heavy Majorana neutrinos in the thermal phase of the early universe may be
the origin of the cosmological matter–antimatter asymmetry. This mechanism of …

Non-thermal origin of asymmetric dark matter from inflaton and primordial black holes

B Barman, D Borah, SJ Das… - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the possibility of cogenesis of baryon and dark matter (DM) from the out-of-
equilibrium CP violating decay of right handed neutrino (RHN) that are dominantly of non …

The minimal seesaw and leptogenesis models

Z Xing, Z Zhao - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
Given its briefness and predictability, the minimal seesaw—a simplified version of the
canonical seesaw mechanism with only two right-handed neutrino fields—has been studied …
