abstract

Due to sphaleron processes in the high-temperature symmetric phase of the standard model the cosmological baryon asymmetry is related to neutrino properties. For hierarchical neutrino masses, with $B-L$ broken at the unification scale $\Lambda_{GUT}\sim 10^{16} $GeV, the observed baryon asymmetry $n_B/s \sim 10^{-10}$ can be naturally explained by the decay of heavy Majorana neutrinos. We illustrate this mechanism with two models of neutrino masses, consistent with the solar and atmospheric neutrino anomalies, which are based on the two symmetry groups $SU(5)\times U(1)_F$ and $SU(3)_c\times SU(3)_L\times SU(3)_R\times U(1)_F$. We also review related cosmological bounds on Majorana neutrino masses and the use of Boltzmann equations.

  1. Scalar dark matter, Neutrino mass and Leptogenesis in a $\rm U(1)_{B-L}$ model

    hep-ph 2019-08 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A U(1)B-L model with four anomaly-cancelling fermions can satisfy dark matter relic density and direct detection bounds, neutrino oscillation data, and the observed baryon asymmetry through resonant leptogenesis.
