Leptogenesis
Intuitive
The basic idea of Leptogenesis is that the baryon-antibaryon 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 sphalerons.
Concrete
- A great straight-forward introduction is Leptogenesis: A Pedagogical Introduction by Yosef Nir
Abstract
The motto in this section is: the higher the level of abstraction, the better.
Why is it interesting?
Leptogenesis is a possible solution for the baryon asymmetry problem of the standard model.
