TeV scale resonant leptogenesis from supersymmetry breaking
Abstract
We propose a model of TeV-scale resonant leptogenesis based upon recent models of the generation of light neutrino masses from supersymmetry-breaking effects with TeV-scale right-handed (rhd) neutrinos, . The model leads to naturally large cosmological lepton asymmetries via the resonant behaviour of the one-loop self-energy contribution to decay. Our model addresses the primary problems of previous phenomenological studies of low-energy leptogenesis: a rational for TeV-scale rhd neutrinos with small Yukawa couplings so that the out-of equilibrium condition for decay is satisfied; the origin of the tiny, but non-zero mass splitting required between at least two masses; and the necessary non-trivial breaking of flavour symmetries in the rhd neutrino sector. The low mass-scale of the rhd neutrinos and their superpartners, and the TeV-scale -terms automatically contained within the model offer opportunities for partial direct experimental tests of this leptogenesis mechanism at future colliders.
