Abstract

It has recently been shown that by extending the minimal standard model to include a right-handed partner to , it is possible to gauge the quantum number consistently. If we add two scalar triplets, one trivial () and one nontrivial () under , it is possible also to have desirable neutrino masses and mixing for neutrino oscillations. At the same time, a lepton asymmetry can be generated in the early universe through the novel mechanism of the decay of the heavier into the lighter plus a neutral singlet (). This lepton asymmetry then gets converted into a baryon asymmetry at the electroweak phase transition.
