Abstract

We explore the leptonic sector of a recently proposed supersymmetric SO(10) model with supersymmetry breaking in the 3-10 TeV range. A new ingredient in this work is the requirement that the observed baryon asymmetry is explained via non-thermal leptogenesis, which can be realized in a large class of supersymmetric hybrid inflation models including SO(10). We provide estimates for the masses of the three Standard Model neutrinos (with the lightest mass m15m_1\approx 5 meV) as well as the three right-handed neutrinos (M1109M_1\approx 10^9 GeV and M2,31013M_{2,3}\approx 10^{13} GeV). The best fit estimate for the leptonic CP violating parameter δPMNS235\delta_\mathrm{PMNS}\approx 235^\circ, and the value of the neutrinoless double beta decay mass parameter mββ0.18m_{\beta\beta}\approx 0.18 meV. A numerical analysis broadens the predicted range for δPMNS\delta_\mathrm{PMNS} (100100^\circ-300300^\circ), but leaves largely intact the predictions for the six (light and heavy) neutrino masses and mββm_{\beta \beta}. Our statistical analysis, which yields the likelihood-predicted ranges of the observables, is fully consistent with JUNO's newly released first measurement of reactor neutrino oscillations in the Δm122\Delta m^2_{12}-sin2θ12\sin^2\theta_{12} plane, with JUNO improving the precision by a factor of 1.6 relative to the combination of all previous measurements. The implementation of successful non-thermal leptogenesis allows us to provide estimates for the inflaton mass (mχ7×109m_\chi \approx 7\times 10^{9} GeV) and the reheating temperature (TRH4×106T_\mathrm{RH}\approx 4\times 10^6 GeV).
