Weak-scale implications of thermal leptogenesis in SUSY

Abstract

Thermal leptogenesis is an attractive mechanism for generating the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. However, in supersymmetric models, the parameter space is severely restricted by the gravitino bound on the reheat temperature $T_{RH}$. Using a parametrisation of the seesaw in terms of weak-scale inputs, the low-energy footprints of thermal leptogenesis are discussed.
