Late Leptogenesis from Radiative Soft Terms

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

We point out that the so-called ``soft leptogenesis'' can occur at TeV scale if the BB term is generated through radiative corrections which involve two-loop diagrams with the gaugino exchange. This mechasnism requires the non-trivial CP phase, Im(Am1/2)0{Im}(A m_{1/2}^*)\neq 0, and can naturally explain the observed baryon asymmetry of the universe associated with the TeV scale seesaw mechanism. Such a low scale leptogenesis would be a promising option in view of the tight upper limit on the reheat temperature avoiding the gravitino problem in supergravity models.
