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 …

Origin of the matter-antimatter asymmetry

M Dine, A Kusenko - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2003 - APS
Although the origin of matter-antimatter asymmetry remains unknown, continuing advances
in theory and improved experimental limits have ruled out some scenarios for baryogenesis …

CP violating decays in leptogenesis scenarios

L Covi, E Roulet, F Vissani - Physics Letters B, 1996 - Elsevier
We compute the CP violation in the decays of heavy electroweak singlet neutrinos, arising
from both the one-loop vertex corrections and the wave function mixing. We extend the …

Towards a complete theory of thermal leptogenesis in the SM and MSSM

GF Giudice, A Notari, M Raidal, A Riotto, A Strumia - Nuclear Physics B, 2004 - Elsevier
We perform a thorough study of thermal leptogenesis adding finite temperature effects, RGE
corrections, scatterings involving gauge bosons and by properly avoiding overcounting on …

Inflation driven by the Galileon field

T Kobayashi, M Yamaguchi, J Yokoyama - Physical review letters, 2010 - APS
We propose a new class of inflation model, G inflation, which has a Galileon-like nonlinear
derivative interaction of the form G (ϕ,(∇ ϕ) 2)□ ϕ in the Lagrangian with the resultant …

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 …

Leptogenesis as the origin of matter

W Buchmüller, RD Peccei… - Annu. Rev. Nucl. Part. Sci …, 2005 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract We explore in some detail the hypothesis that the generation of a primordial lepton-
antilepton asymmetry (Leptogenesis) early on in the history of the Universe is the root cause …

Baryogenesis from a lepton asymmetric universe

M Flanz, EA Paschos, U Sarkar - Physics Letters B, 1995 - Elsevier
We demonstrate that CP-violation in the Majorana mass matrices of the heavy neutrinos can
generate a CP-asymmetric universe. The subsequent decay of the Majorana particles …

M Raidal, A Van der Schaaf, I Bigi, ML Mangano… - The European Physical …, 2008 - Springer
This chapter of the report of the “Flavor in the era of the LHC” Workshop discusses the
theoretical, phenomenological and experimental issues related to flavor phenomena in the …

The soft supersymmetry-breaking Lagrangian: Theory and applications

DJH Chung, LL Everett, GL Kane, SF King, J Lykken… - Physics Reports, 2005 - Elsevier
After an introduction recalling the theoretical motivation for low energy (100GeV to TeV
scale) supersymmetry, this review describes the theory and experimental implications of the …
