Thermal leptogenesis in a 5D split fermion scenario with bulk neutrinos
arXiv:0912.4377 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.82.013009
Abstract
We study the thermal leptogenesis in a hybrid model, which combines the so called split fermion model and the bulk neutrino model defined in five dimensional spacetime. This model predicts the existence of a heavy neutrino pair nearly degenerate in mass, whose decays might generate a CP violation large enough for creating the baryon asymmetry of the universe through leptogenesis. We investigate numerically the constraints this sets on the parameters of the model such as the size of the compactified fifth dimension.
