Leptogenesis from right-handed neutrino decays to right-handed leptons

الأصل · EN

We investigate what would be the consequences for leptogenesis of the existence of a charged SU(2)ₗ singlet scalar delta+. If such a scalar particle exists, it allows the right-handed neutrinos to couple not only to left-handed lepton and Higgs doublets as in ordinary leptogenesis, but also to a right-handed charged lepton and a delta+. This provides a new source of leptogenesis which can be successful in a non-resonant way at scales as low as TeV. The incorporation of this scenario in left-right symmetric and unified models is discussed.
