Abstract

We explore lepton-flavored electroweak baryogenesis, driven by CP-violation in leptonic Yukawa sector, using the system in the two Higgs doublet model as an example. This setup generically yields, together with the flavor-changing decay , a tree-level Jarlskog-invariant that can drive dynamical generation of baryon asymmetry during a first-order electroweak phase transition and results in CP-violating effect in the decay . We find that the observed baryon asymmetry can be generated in parameter space compatible with current experimental results for the decays , and , as well as the present bound on the electric dipole moment of the electron. The baryon asymmetry generated is intrinsically correlated with the CP-violating decay and the flavor-changing decay , which thus may serve as "smoking guns" to test lepton-flavored electroweak baryogenesis.
