The phenomenology of right handed neutrinos

M Drewes - International Journal of Modern Physics E, 2013 - World Scientific
Neutrinos are the only particles in the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics that have only
been observed with left handed chirality to date. If right handed (RH) neutrinos exist, they …

Why is there more matter than antimatter? Calculational methods for leptogenesis and electroweak baryogenesis

B Garbrecht - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2020 - Elsevier
We review the production of the matter–antimatter asymmetry in the early Universe, that is
baryogenesis, in out-of-equilibrium conditions induced by decays of heavy particles or by …

Low-scale leptogenesis with three heavy neutrinos

A Abada, G Arcadi, V Domcke, M Drewes… - Journal of High Energy …, 2019 - Springer
A bstract Leptogenesis induced by the oscillations of GeV-scale neutrinos provides a
minimal and testable explanation of the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. In this work we …

ARS leptogenesis

M Drewes, B Garbrecht, P Hernández… - … Journal of Modern …, 2018 - World Scientific
We review the current status of the leptogenesis scenario originally proposed by Akhmedov,
Rubakov and Smirnov (ARS). It takes place in the parametric regime where the right-handed …

Leptogenesis from oscillations of heavy neutrinos with large mixing angles

M Drewes, B Garbrecht, D Gueter, J Klarić - Journal of High Energy …, 2016 - Springer
A bstract The extension of the Standard Model by heavy right-handed neutrinos can
simultaneously explain the observed neutrino masses via the seesaw mechanism and the …

ULYSSES: Universal LeptogeneSiS equation solver

A Granelli, K Moffat, YF Perez-Gonzalez… - Computer Physics …, 2021 - Elsevier
ULYSSES is a python package that calculates the baryon asymmetry produced from
leptogenesis in the context of a type-I seesaw mechanism. The code solves the semi …

The kinematics of cosmic reheating

M Drewes, JU Kang - Nuclear Physics B, 2013 - Elsevier
We calculate the relaxation rate of a scalar field in a plasma of other scalars and fermions
with gauge interactions using thermal quantum field theory. It yields the rate of cosmic …

Status of rates and rate equations for thermal leptogenesis

S Biondini, D Bödeker, N Brambilla… - … Journal of Modern …, 2018 - World Scientific
In many realizations of leptogenesis, heavy right-handed neutrinos play the main role in the
generation of an imbalance between matter and antimatter in the early Universe. Hence, it is …

Neutrino dynamics below the electroweak crossover

J Ghiglieri, M Laine - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
We estimate the thermal masses and damping rates of active (m< eV) and sterile (M∼ GeV)
neutrinos with thermal momenta k∼ 3T at temperatures below the electroweak crossover (5 …

Sterile neutrino Dark Matter production from scalar decay in a thermal bath

M Drewes, JU Kang - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016 - Springer
A bstract We calculate the production rate of singlet fermions from the decay of neutral or
charged scalar fields in a hot plasma. We find that there are considerable thermal …
