abstract

We study the implications of thermal leptogenesis for neutrino parameters. Assuming that decays of N_1, the lightest of the heavy Majorana neutrinos, initiate baryogenesis, we show that the final baryon asymmetry is determined by only four parameters: the CP asymmetry epsilon_1, the heavy neutrino mass M_1, the effective light neutrino mass \tilde{m}_1, and the quadratic mean \bar{m} of the light neutrino masses. Imposing the CMB measurement of the baryon asymmetry as constraint on the neutrino parameters, we show, in a model independent way, that quasi-degenerate neutrinos are incompatible with thermal leptogenesis. For maximal CP asymmetry epsilon_1, and neutrino masses in the range from (\Delta m^2_{sol})^{1/2} to (\Delta m^2_{atm})^{1/2}, the baryogenesis temperature is T_B = O(10^{10}) GeV.

Does thermal leptogenesis in a canonical seesaw rely on initial memory?

hep-ph · 2025-03-13 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Flavor projection effects in density-matrix equations permit misaligned asymmetry components from N2 and N3 to survive N1 washout in hierarchical seesaw leptogenesis, dividing parameter space into four regimes under low-energy neutrino constraints.

$SO(10)$-inspired leptogenesis

hep-ph · 2026-04-21 · unverdicted · novelty 3.0

SO(10)-inspired leptogenesis implies N2-leptogenesis, ruling out inverted neutrino ordering under strict conditions and enabling initial-condition-independent asymmetry in subsets of solutions.

    The mass ranges for the dark antibaryon ψ_DS are determined by deriving the B_d → Λ ψ_DS branching fraction via light-cone QCD sum rules and comparing it to BaBar and Belle experimental bounds.
