New Ways to Leptogenesis with Gauged B-L Symmetry


الملخص بالإنكليزية

We show that in supersymmetric models with gauged B-L symmetry, there is a new source for cosmological lepton asymmetry. The Higgs bosons responsible for B-L gauge symmetry breaking decay dominantly into right-handed sneutrinos tilde{N} and tilde{N}* producing an asymmetry in tilde{N} over tilde{N}*. This can be fully converted into ordinary lepton asymmetry in the decays of tilde{N}. In simple models with gauged B-L symmetry we show that resonant/soft leptogenesis is naturally realized. Supersymmetry guarantees quasi-degenerate scalar states, while soft breaking of SUSY provides the needed CP violation. Acceptable values of baryon asymmetry are obtained without causing serious problems with gravitino abundance.
