5 The Begining of The Story... Y B = n B n B 0 = (8.66 ± 0.35) s Because of the initial condition? For every 10 8 antiquarks, there should be quarks. Inflation diluted all the primordial baryon asymmetry. Yuhsin Tsai, Cornell University/CIHEP Leptogenesis with Composite Neutrinos 4 / 42

6 The Begining of The Story... Y B = n B n B 0 = (8.66 ± 0.35) s Because of the initial condition? For every 10 8 antiquarks, there should be quarks. Inflation diluted all the primordial baryon asymmetry. Can SM gives us a large enough asymmetry? No! The CPV is too small, and it is difficult to be out of equilibrium. Yuhsin Tsai, Cornell University/CIHEP Leptogenesis with Composite Neutrinos 4 / 42

7 The Begining of The Story... Y B = n B n B 0 = (8.66 ± 0.35) s Need new physics to generate baryon asymmetry dynamically. e.g. GUT baryongenesis, EW baryogenesis, The Affleck-Dine mechanism,..., Leptogenesis Yuhsin Tsai, Cornell University/CIHEP Leptogenesis with Composite Neutrinos 5 / 42

Advantage The Λ QCD of the strong dynamics suppress m νl naturally. NR M Messenger Preons SM Yuhsin Tsai, Cornell University/CIHEP Leptogenesis with Composite Neutrinos 23 / 42

27 Massless baryons? G. t Hooft s Cargese summer lectures (1979) Usually, The baryons in SM have m baryon Λ QCD after confinement. The GSB s coming from the breaking of the global symmetry can remain massless, but this is not for fermions! However, If the strong dynamics is chiral, and we have enough chiral symmetry left after SSB, the massless baryon can exit. How to find the massless baryons in the confinement scale? Gauge symmetry + anomaly matching. Yuhsin Tsai, Cornell University/CIHEP Leptogenesis with Composite Neutrinos 24 / 42

29 Massless baryons? Usually, The baryons in SM have m baryon Λ QCD after confinement. The GSB s coming from the breaking of the global symmetry can remain massless, but this is not for fermions! However, If the strong dynamics is chiral, and we have enough chiral symmetry left after SSB, the massless baryon can exit. How to identify the massless baryons in the confinement scale? (theory) By checking the anomaly & gauge symmetry, we can identify the correct massless baryons. i.e. massless composite fermions.

An SU(n + 4) gauge theory with 1 antisymmetric tensor A. n antifundamentals ψ i, i = 1...n. can produce n(n + 1) 2 massless composite "baryons" B ij = ψ i Aψ j = B ji. Can we use these massless baryons as the RH (or sterile) neutrinos? Yuhsin Tsai, Cornell University/CIHEP Leptogenesis with Composite Neutrinos 27 / 42

32 The Composite Neutrinos! Yes, we can! For the simplest case with n = 2, we have: 2(2 + 1) = 3 RH neutrinos.

Yuhsin Tsai, Cornell University/CIHEP Leptogenesis with Composite Neutrinos 36 / 42

42 A short conclusion for Composite Neutrinos The idea of CN R gives small Dirac m νl naturally. We can also have Majorana mass term in the theory. The UV completion of the theory gives us the particle spectrum that: gives CP phases & new decay channels that is necessary for LG. satisfies the experimental bound. has the preons ψ, A, φ & the messenger Ω that couples to the SM sector.

46 LG with CN R - The Standard LG When the temperature T that LG begins to happen satisfies T Λ Cannot see preons, there is only N R. Gives the standard LG from N R H L decay. Have m N 10 7 TeV, Λ TeV, M TeV. Still a high energy scale LG scenario. Leptonic NR decay that gives Lepton numer asymmetry Sphaleron Effect Lepton Number + Baryon Number Yuhsin Tsai, Cornell University/CIHEP Leptogenesis with Composite Neutrinos 40 / 42

47 LG with CN R - The Dirac LG When the temperature T that LG begins to happen satisfies T Λ No N R, there are only preons. Gives the Dirac LG from the messenger decay Ω AL. The annihilation between A & L is suppressed by (T /M) 6 and H. Can have m Ω as low as 10TeV. Can be a good candidate for low energy LG.

48 Conclusion Wake up! Leptogenesis is a plausible baryogenesis scenario which solves the Y B & small m ν problems simultaneously.
