This is an introductory review of the main features of leptogenesis, one of the most attractive models of baryogenesis for the explanation of the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the Universe. The calculation of the asymmetry in leptogenesis…
We analyze the manifestations of new matter particles predicted by models of new physics beyond the Standard Model, at present and future high--energy colliders. We consider both the production of these new particles and some of their…
Preliminary results of measurements of fermion-pair production at LEP2 are used to derive limits on new physics phenomena. Combinations of the cross sections and asymmetrie of the 4 LEP collaborations are interpreted in terms four-fermion…
We study the possibility of generating baryon asymmetry of the universe from dark matter (DM) annihilations during non-standard cosmological epochs. Considering the DM to be of weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) type, the generation…
We propose in this paper a scenario of spontaneous baryogenesis in cosmological models of Quintessence by introducing a derivative coupling of the Quintessence scalar $Q$ to the baryon current $J_B^{\mu}$ or the current of the baryon number…
It is shown that the mixing of lepton doublets of the Standard Model can yield sizeable contributions to the lepton asymmetry, that is generated through the decays of right-handed neutrinos at finite temperature in the early Universe. When…
It has recently been shown that by extending the minimal standard model to include a right-handed partner to $\nu_\tau$, it is possible to gauge the $B - 3 L_\tau$ quantum number consistently. If we add two scalar triplets, one trivial…
The constraints on baryogenesis models obtained from an observation of neutrinoless double beta decay are discussed. The lepton number violating processes, which can underlie neutrinoless double beta decay, would together with sphaleron…
The energy levels of the left and the right handed neutrinos is split in the background of gravitational waves generated during inflation which in presence of lepton number violating interactions gives rise to a net lepton asymmetry at…
The masses and mixing of the light left-handed neutrinos can be related to those of the heavy right-handed neutrinos in left-right symmetric theories. Properties of the light neutrinos are measured in terrestrial experiments and the…
The origin of the fermion generations is discussed. A strong interactions spin $I_{S}$ is introduced which unifies the quarks and leptons as two multiplets of this spin. The electroweak vector bosons and gluons emerge as the fused states of…
We present a new scenario for the baryon number violation that may take place in models with large extra dimensions. Our idea is interesting because leptogenesis with a low reheating temperature requires an alternative source of the B+L…
We present here a novel and testable mechanism for leptogenesis, which is characterized by a purely thermal generation of lepton asymmetry via scalar decay. Guided by the thermal mass matrix diagonalization in the finite-temperature regime,…
We review the current status of baryogenesis with emphasis on electroweak baryogenesis and leptogenesis. The first detailed studies were carried out for SU(5) GUT models where CP-violating decays of leptoquarks generate a baryon asymmetry.…
This Resource Letter provides a guide to literature on the Standard Model of elementary particles and possible extensions. In the successful theory of quarks and leptons and their interactions, important questions remain, such as the…
Relations between bulk mass parameters for fermions propagating in higher dimensions are studied in analogy with the empirical mass relation for charged leptons. Masses of three generation of four-dimensional charged leptons are achieved…
Among the mechanisms which successfully explain the generation of the Baryon Asymmetry of the Universe, Leptogenesis through right-handed neutrino decays is especially attractive. Unfortunately, this theory suffers from a lack of…
Masses of positive and negative parity excited nucleons and hyperons are calculated in quenched lattice QCD using an O(a^2) improved gluon action and a fat-link clover fermion action in which only the irrelevant operators are constructed…
We investigate the leptogenesis via decays of heavy Majorana neutrinos which are produced non-thermally in inflaton decays. We make a comprehensive study on the leptogenesis assuming various supersymmetric (SUSY) models for hybrid, new and…
A recent model of dark energy and dark matter was proposed, involving a new gauge group $SU(2)_Z$ whose coupling grows strong at a scale $\Lambda_Z \sim 10^{-3} eV$, a result which is obtained from a simple assumption that its initial value…
