Leptogenesis from $\widetilde{N}$-dominated early universe

Abstract

We investigate in detail the leptogenesis by the decay of coherent right-handed sneutrino N~\widetilde{N} having dominated the energy density of the early universe, which was originally proposed by HM and TY. Once the N~\widetilde{N} dominant universe is realized, the amount of the generated lepton asymmetry (and hence baryon asymmetry) is determined only by the properties of the right-handed neutrino, regardless of the history before it dominates the universe. Moreover, thanks to the entropy production by the decay of the right-handed sneutrino, thermally produced relics are sufficiently diluted. In particular, the cosmological gravitino problem can be avoided even when the reheating temperature of the inflation is higher than 1010\GeV10^{10}\GeV, in a wide range of the gravitino mass m3/210\MeVm_{3/2}\simeq 10\MeV--100\TeV100\TeV. If the gravitino mass is in the range m3/210\MeVm_{3/2}\simeq 10\MeV--1\GeV1\GeV as in the some gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking models, the dark matter in our universe can be dominantly composed of the gravitino. Quantum fluctuation of the N~\widetilde{N} during inflation causes an isocurvature fluctuation which may be detectable in the future.
