Abstract

We present a simple extension of the Standard Model with three right-handed neutrinos in a SUSY framework, with an additional U(1)F)_\text{F} abelian flavor symmetry with a non standard leptonic charge LeLμLτL_e-L_\mu-L_\tau for lepton doublets and arbitrary right-handed charges. We show that the model is able to reproduce the experimental values of the mixing angles of the PMNS matrix and of the r=Δmsun2/Δmatm2r=\Delta m_\text{sun}^2/\Delta m_\text{atm}^2 ratio, with only a moderate fine tuning of the Lagrangian free parameters. The baryon asymmetry of the Universe is generated via thermal leptogenesis through CP-violating decays of the heavy right-handed neutrinos. We present a detailed numerical solution of the relevant Boltzmann equation accounting for the impact of the distribution of the asymmetry in the various lepton flavors.
