Description

In TeV scale B−L extension of the standard model with inverse seesaw, the Yukawa coupling of right-handed neutrinos can be of order one. This implies that the out-of-equilibrium condition for leptogenesis within the standard cosmology is not satisfied. We provide two scenarios for overcoming this problem and generating the desired value of the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. The first scenario is based on the extra-dimensional braneworld effects that modify the Friedman equation. We show that in this case the value of the baryon asymmetry of the Universe constrains the five-dimensional Planck mass to be of order 100 TeV. In the second scenario a non-thermal right-handed neutrino produced by the decay of a heavy moduli is assumed. In this case, we emphasize that it is possible to generate the required baryon asymmetry of the Universe for TeV scale right-handed neutrinos
