Abstract

On the basis of a previously proposed mechanism of neutrino-antineutrino mass splitting in the Standard Model, which is Lorentz and SU(2)×U(1)SU(2)\times U(1) invariant but non-local to evade CPTCPT theorem, we discuss the possible implications of neutrino-antineutrino mass splitting on neutrino physics and baryogenesis. It is shown that non-locality within a distance scale of the Planck length, that may not be fatal to unitarity in generic effective theory, can generate the neutrino-antineutrino mass splitting of the order of observed neutrino mass differences, which is tested in oscillation experiments, and non-negligible baryon asymmetry depending on the estimate of sphaleron dynamics. The one-loop order induced electron-positron mass splitting in the Standard Model is shown to be finite and estimated at 1020\sim 10^{-20} eV, well below the experimental bound <102< 10^{-2} eV. The induced CPTCPT violation in the KK-meson in the Standard Model is expected to be even smaller and well below the experimental bound mKmKˉ<0.44×1018|m_{K}-m_{\bar{K}}|<0.44\times 10^{-18} GeV.
