Abstract:
The cosmological baryon asymmetry can be explained as remnant of heavy Majorana neutrino decays in the early universe. We study this mechanism for two models of neutrino masses with a large νμ−ντ mixing angle which are based on the symmetries SU(5)×U(1)F and SU(3)c×SU(3)L×SU(3)R×U(1)F, respectively. In both cases B−L is broken at the unification scale ΛGUT. The models make different predictions for the baryogenesis temperature and the gravitino abundance.
