abstract
We study leptogenesis from the out-of-equilibrium decays of the lightest heavy neutrino $N_1$ in the medium (low) temperature regime, $T\lsim 10^{12}$ GeV ($10^{10}$ GeV), where the rates of processes mediated by the $\tau$ (and $\mu$) Yukawa coupling are non negligible, implying that the effects of lepton flavors must be taken into account. We find important quantitative and qualitative differences with respect to the case where flavor effects are ignored: (i) The cosmic baryon asymmetry can be enhanced by up to one order of magnitude; (ii) The sign of the asymmetry can be opposite to what one would predict from the sign of the total lepton asymmetry $\epsilon_1$; (iii) Successful leptogenesis is possible even with $\epsilon_1=0$.

An explicit model generates the observed baryon asymmetry via annihilogenesis of right-handed neutrinos confined in false-vacuum pockets during a strong first-order phase transition, relaxing the usual light-neutrino-mass upper bound on the CP asymmetry.
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.
