We present a model of leptogenesis that preserves lepton number. The model maintains the important feature of more traditional leptogenesis scenarios: The decaying particles that provide the CP violation necessary for baryogenesis also provide the explanation for the smallness of the neutrino Yukawa couplings. This model clearly demonstrates that, contrary to conventional wisdom, neutrinos need not be Majorana in nature in order to help explain the baryon asymmetry of the universe.
我们提出了一个保持轻子数的轻子生成模型。该模型保留了更传统轻子生成情景的重要特征:为重子生成提供必要CP破坏的衰变粒子,也为中微子汤川耦合的微小性提供了解释。该模型清楚地表明,与传统观念相反,为了帮助解释宇宙的重子不对称性,中微子在本质上不一定是马约拉纳费米子。
