CP violation in neutrino oscillation and leptogenesis

Abstract

We study the correlation between CP violation in neutrino oscillations and leptogenesis in the framework with two heavy Majorana neutrinos and three light neutrinos. Among three unremovable CP phases, a heavy Majorana phase contributes to leptogenesis. We show how the heavy Majorana phase contributes to Jarlskog determinant JJ as well as neutrinoless double β\beta decay by identifying a low energy CP violating phase which signals the CP violating phase for leptogenesis. For some specific cases of the Dirac mass term of neutrinos, a direct relation between lepton number asymmetry and JJ is obtained. For the most general case of the framework, we study the effect on J J coming from the phases which are not related to leptogenesis, and also show how the correlation can be lost in the presence of those phases.
