With a hierarchical spectrum of the additional fermions, the lower bound on the lightest triplet mass is similar to 1010 GeV for successful leptogenesis, a couple of orders higher than that of the type-I case. We investigate the possibility of lowering this bound in the framework of two-Higgs-doublet models. We find that the bounds can be lowered down to 107 GeV for a hierarchical spectrum. If we include the flavor effects, then a further lowering by one order of magnitude is possible. We also discuss if such lowering can be compatible with the naturalness bounds on the triplet mass.", optnote="WOS:000982166600007", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=5544), last updated on Fri, 16 Jun 2023 06:34:39 +0000", issn="2470-0010", doi="10.1103/PhysRevD.107.035014", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/2208.12011", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.107.035014", language="English" }
