Leptogenesis with Almost Degenerate Majorana Neutrinos

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

We investigate the leptogenesis with almost degenerate neutrinos, in the framework of democratic mass matrix, which naturally explains the large mixing angles for neutrino oscillations as well as quark masses and mixing matrix. We find that the baryon asymmetry in the present universe is explained via the decays of right-handed neutrinos produced nonthermally by the inflaton decay. The model predicts neutrinoless double beta decays accessible in near future experiments.
