Thermal leptogenesis with triplet Higgs boson and mass varying neutrinos

We study the thermal leptogenesis in the scenario where the standard model is extended to include one $SU(2)_{L}$ triplet Higgs boson, in addition to three generations of the right-handed neutrinos. And in the model we introduce the coupling between the Quintessence and the right-handed neutrinos, the triplet Higgs boson, so that the light neutrino masses vary during the evolution of the universe. Assuming that the lepton number asymmetry is generated by the decays of the lightest right-handed neutrino $N_{1}$, we find the thermal leptogenesis can be characterized by four model independent parameters. In the case where the contribution of the triplet Higgs to the lepton asymmetry is dominant, we give the relation between the minimal $M_{1}$ and the absolute mass scale $\bar{m}$ of the light neutrinos, by solving the Boltzmann equations numerically. We will also show that with the varying neutrino masses, the reheating temperature can be lowered in comparison with the traditional thermal leptogenesis.

Thermal leptogenesis in a model with mass varying neutrinos

In this paper we consider the possibility of neutrino mass varying during the evolution of the Universe and study its implications on leptogenesis. Specifically, we take the minimal seesaw model of neutrino masses and introduce a coupling between the right-handed neutrinos and the dark energy scalar field, the Quintessence. In our model, the right-handed neutrino masses change as the Quintessence scalar evolves. We then examine in detail the parameter space of this model allowed by the observed baryon number asymmetry. Our results show that it is possible to lower the reheating temperature in this scenario in comparison with the case that the neutrino masses are unchanged, which helps solve the gravitino problem. Furthermore, a degenerate neutrino mass patten with $m_i$ larger than the upper limit given in the minimal leptogenesis scenario is permitted.

Fermionic partner of Quintessence field as candidate for dark matter

Quintessence is a possible candidate for dark energy. In this paper we study the phenomenologies of the fermionic partner of Quintessence, the Quintessino. Our results show that, for suitable choices of the model parameters, the Quintessino is a good candidate for cold or warm dark matter. In our scenario, dark energy and dark matter of the Universe are connected in one chiral superfield.

Double sneutrino inflation and its phenomenologies

In this paper we study double scalar neutrino inflation in the minimal supersymmetric seesaw model in light of WMAP. Inflation in this model is firstly driven by the heavier sneutrino field $\tilde{N}_2$ and then the lighter field $\tilde{N}_1$. we will show that with the mass ratio $6\lesssim M_2/M_1 \lesssim 10$ the model predicts a suppressed primordial scalar spectrum around the largest scales and the predicted CMB TT quadrupole is much better suppressed than the single sneutrino model. So this model is more favored than the single sneutrino inflation model. We then consider the implications of the model on the reheating temperature, leptogenesis and lepton flavor violation. Our results show that the seesaw parameters are constrained strongly by the reheating temperature, together with the requirement by a successful inflation. The mixing between the first generation and the other two generations in the right-handed neutrino sector is tiny. The rates of lepton flavor violating processes in our scenario depend on only 4 unknown seesaw parameters through a 'reduced' seesaw formula, besides $U_{e3}$ and the supersymmetric parameters. We find that the branching ratio of $μ\to e γ$ is generally near the present experimental limit, while ${\rm Br}(τ\to μγ)$ is around $\mathcal{O}(10^{-10} - 10^{-9})$.

Muon anomalous magnetic moment and lepton flavor violation in MSSM

We give a thorough analysis of the correlation between the muon anomalous magnetic moment and the radiative lepton flavor violating (LFV) processes within the minimal supersymmetric standard model. We find that in the case when the slepton mass eigenstates are nearly degenerate, $δa_μ$, coming from SUSY contributions, hardly depends on the lepton flavor mixing and, thus, there is no direct relation between $δa_μ$ and the LFV processes. On the contrary, if the first two generations' sleptons are much heavier than the 3rd one, i.e., in the effective SUSY scenario, the two quantities are closely related. In the latter scenario, the SUSY parameter space to account for the experimental $δa_μ$ is quite different from the case of no lepton flavor mixing. Especially, the Higgsino mass parameter $μ$ can be either positive or negative.

Correlation between LFV and muon (g-2) in MSSM

We give a simultaneous analysis of $g_μ-2$ and lepton flavor violation within MSSM. Working on the interaction basis, we give direct relations between $δa_μ$ and Br$(τ\toμγ)$ induced by the supersymmetric particles. We find the SUSY parameter space to satisfy the $g_μ-2$ constraint can be considerably different from that given in case of no lepton flavor mixing in the soft SUSY breaking sector.

Lepton flavor violation in lopsided models and a neutrino mass model

A widely adopted theoretical scheme to account for the neutrino oscillation phenomena is the see-saw mechanism together with the ``lopsided'' mass matrices, which is generally realized in the framework of supersymmetric grand unification. We will show that this scheme leads to large lepton flavor violation at low energy if supersymmetry is broken at the GUT or Plank scale. Especially, the branching ratio of $μ\to eγ$ already exceeds the present experimental limit. We then propose a phenomenological model, which can account for the LMA solution to the solar neutrino problem and at the same time predict branching ratio of $μ\to eγ$ below the present limit.

LMA Solution to the Solar Neutrino Problem and a Phenomenological Charged Lepton Mass Matrix

We propose a phenomenological form of the charged lepton mass matrix, which extends the idea of ``lopsided'' mass matrix in the literature. The features of the form are that both the 2-3 and 1-3 elements of the charged lepton mass matrix are of order 1 and that the small elements have a new structure . This form leads to an interesting result that both large atmospheric and solar neutrino mixing can be accounted for by the matrix. Another interesting result of this mass matrix is that it leads to very small 1-3 mixing in the lepton sector and can suppress the branching ratio of $μ\to eγ$ under the present experimental limit in the supersymmetric see-saw case.

Lepton Flavor Violation in the SUSY-GUT Models with Lopsided Mass Matrix

The tiny neutrino masses measured in the neutrino oscillation experiments can be naturally explained by the supersymmetric see-saw mechanism. If the supersymmetry breaking is mediated by gravity, the see-saw models may predict observable lepton flavor violating effects. In this work, we investigate the lepton flavor violating process $μ\to eγ$ in the kind of neutrino mass models based on the idea of the ``lopsided'' form of the charged lepton mass matrix. The constraints set by the muon anomalous magnetic moment are taken into account. We find the present models generally predict a much larger branching ratio of $μ\to eγ$ than the experimental limit. Conversely, this process may give strong constraint on the lepton flavor structure. Following this constraint we then find a new kind of the charged lepton mass matrix. The feature of the structure is that both the elements between the 2-3 and 1-3 generations are ``lopsided''. This structure produces a very small 1-3 mixing and a large 1-2 mixing in the charged lepton sector, which naturally leads to small $Br(μ\to eγ)$ and the LMA solution for the solar neutrino problem.

Large Yukawa coupling corrections to scalar quark pair production in $e^+e^-$ annihilation

We calculate the large Yukawa coupling corrections to the top and bottom scalar quark pair production in $\ee$ annihilation within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. We include the vertex corrections and the corrections to the gauge boson propagator enhanced by large masses. We find the total corrections are quite significant. In some regions of the parameter space the corrections are larger than 10%.

Lepton Flavor Violation in Supersymmetric SO(10) Grand Unified Models

The study for lepton flavor violation combined with the neutrino oscillation may provide more information about the lepton flavor structure of the grand unified theory. In this paper, we study two lepton flavor violation processes, $τ\to μγ$ and $Z\to τμ$, in the context of supersymmetric SO(10) grand unified models. We find the two processes are both of phenomenological interest. In particular the latter may be important in some supersymmetric parameter space where the former is suppressed. Thus, Z-dacay may offer another chance for looking for lepton flavor violation.

QCD and SUSY-QCD corrections to the Three-Body Decay of the Charged Higgs Boson

The ${\cal O}(α_s)$ QCD corrections to the three-body decay width of the charged Higgs $Γ$($H^+\to W^+b\bar{b}$) are discussed in the MSSM model. Our calculations indicate that the standard QCD corrections to the three-body decay mode raise the width by about 12% and the supersymmetric QCD corrections(due to $\tilde{g}, \tilde{t}, \tilde{b}$ exchanges) can be comparable to or even larger than the standard QCD corrctions in some regions of the supersymmetric parameter space. This is mainly due to the effect of large left-right mixing of stop($\tilde{t}$). It could significantly affect the phenomenology of the $H^+$ search.

CP violation in semi-leptonic decays of the top quark within MSSM

We calculate the CP-violating effects in the top quark semi-leptonic three body decays induced by the supersymmetric CP-odd phase of the top squark trilinear soft breaking term $\arg(A_t)$. The light top squark mass is assumed to be close to the top quark mass $m_{\tilde{t}}\sim m_t$. The CP-conserving phase is provided by the $χ^+$ and $χ^0$ cut. We find that the partial rate asymmetry is in the 0.1% level. In the most favorable parameter region the decay rate asymmetr can reach up to 0.55%.
