TY - JOUR AU - Racker, J. PY - 2014 DA - 2014// TI - Mass bounds for baryogenesis from particle decays and the inert doublet model T2 - J. Cosmol. Astropart. Phys. JO - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics SP - 025 EP - 23pp VL - 03 IS - 3 PB - Iop Publishing Ltd KW - leptogenesis KW - baryon asymmetry AB - In models for thermal baryogenesis from particle decays, the mass of the decaying particle is typically many orders of magnitude above the TeV scale. We will discuss different ways to lower the energy scale of baryogenesis and present the corresponding lower bounds on the particle's mass. This is done specifically for the inert doublet model with heavy Majorana neutrinos and then we indicate how to extrapolate the results to other scenarios. We also revisit the question of whether or not dark matter, neutrino masses, and the cosmic baryon asymmetry can be explained simultaneously at low energies in the inert doublet model.
