Lepton number violation in cosmology and particle physics
M. Yoshimura
• Introduction: Symmetry and its breakdown・ Sources of B non-conservation : electroweak at
high T• Leptogenesis: L-nonconservation in universe ・ Thermal L-genesis and general remarks・ Possible nightmare : gravitino overproduction・ Ways out・ L-number violation in terrestrial laboratories• Conclusion
Symmetry principle and its breakdown
• Symmetry organizes indivisual events and leads to conservation law
• 2 important discoveries of last century 1. Local gauge symmetry Associated with force (interaction) 2. Spontaneous breaking of symmetry Symmetric dynamical law and breaking in
realized states
Well known example
• Electric charge conservation:
1st case of gauge symmetry and led to successful QED
• Standard theory of particle physics:
unified weak and electromagnetic forces, and explained difference of force ranges
How about baryon and lepton numbers ?
・ My personal prejudice: Breakdown of empirical conservation laws not protected by the gauge principle, such as the lepton number, the baryon number, the flavor changing process, CP violation are all expected. Question is only the rate.
• We might already have many hints on these!

Sources of B nonconservation

• SUSY ( Affleck-Dine mechanism)
• Black hole evaporation

Difficulties of EW B-genesis
• No strong 1st order phase transition due to experimental Higgs lower mass bound: >115GeV
Theory requires a large radiative correction to the Higgs potential, to obtain more than quartic terms
• Magnitude too small due to KM phase alone

Summary
• (B-L) genesis is a great hint on physics beyond the standard model, linking the micro and the macro worlds
• L-genesis interesting due to its possible connection to the neutrino sector and lepton flavor violation
• Watch out gravitino overproduction
• Test of L-nonconservation with CP violation in laboratories is not easy, needs fresh ideas
Model of inflation: Chaotic inflation
• Damped inflaton oscillation wth its mass
