Leptogenesis: Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata link in unified models with natural neutrino mass hierarchy

Leptogenesis: Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata link in unified models with natural neutrino mass hierarchy
Leptogenesis: Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata link in unified models with natural neutrino mass hierarchy
We discuss the relation between leptogenesis and the Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata (MNS) phases in the class of seesaw models called light sequential dominance in which the right-handed neutrinos dominate sequentially, with the dominant right-handed neutrino being the lightest one. The heaviest right-handed neutrino then decouples, leaving effectively two right-handed neutrinos. Light sequential dominance is motivated by SO(10) models which predict three right-handed neutrinos. With an approximate Yukawa texture zero in the 11 position there are only two seesaw phases which are simply related to the MNS phase measurable at a neutrino factory and the leptogenesis phase. The leptogenesis phase is predicted to be equal to the neutrinoless double beta decay phase.

Abstract

We discuss the relation between leptogenesis and the Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata (MNS) phases in the class of seesaw models called light sequential dominance in which the right-handed neutrinos dominate sequentially, with the dominant right-handed neutrino being the lightest one. The heaviest right-handed neutrino then decouples, leaving effectively two right-handed neutrinos. Light sequential dominance is motivated by SO(10) models which predict three right-handed neutrinos. With an approximate Yukawa texture zero in the 11 position there are only two seesaw phases which are simply related to the MNS phase measurable at a neutrino factory and the leptogenesis phase. The leptogenesis phase is predicted to be equal to the neutrinoless double beta decay phase.
