| - | Explanations in this section should contain no formulas, but instead colloquial things like you would hear them during a coffee break or at a cocktail party. | + | |
| - | </note> | + | The basic idea of Leptogenesis is that the baryon-antibaryon asymmetry that we observe was produced through a lepton-antilepton asymmetry. This asymmetry, in turn, was produced, for example, through the decay of right-handed neutrinos. |
| + | |||
| + | The lepton asymmetry gets converted into a baryon asymmetry through vacuum tunneling processes known as [[advanced_notions:quantum_field_theory:sphalerons|sphalerons]]. | ||
