The Role of Lepton Flavours in Thermal Leptogenesis

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-10-11 v1

Abstract

Thermal leptogenesis, that can be viewed as a consequence of the seesaw model, is a very natural mechanism to explain the matter anti-matter asymmetry of the Universe. Recently, lepton flavours have been included in the Boltzmann equations, modifying significantly the evaluation of the efficiency of leptogenesis to explain the observed baryon asymmetry.
