Flavoured Resonant Leptogenesis at Sub-TeV Scales

Abstract

We consider sub-TeV scale flavoured resonant leptogenesis within the minimal type-I seesaw scenario with two right-handed singlet neutrinos N1,2N_{1,2} forming a pseudo-Dirac pair, concentrating on the case of masses of the pseudo-Dirac pair having values M1,2100M_{1,2} \lesssim 100 GeV. The case when the CP violating asymmetries in the individual lepton charges LlL_l, l=e,μ,τl=e,\mu,\tau, and in the total lepton charge LL of the Universe are generated in 121 \leftrightarrow 2 decay processes is investigated. We show that successful leptogenesis is possible for M1,2M_{1,2} lying in the interval M1,2=(0.3100)M_{1,2} = (0.3 - 100) GeV. Our results show also, in particular, that for vanishing initial N1,2N_{1,2} abundance, flavour effects can play an important role in the generation of the baryon asymmetry, leading to an enhancement of the asymmetry by a factor up to 300\sim 300 with respect to the "unflavoured" leptogenesis scenario.
