Effective Theory of Resonant Leptogenesis in the Closed-Time-Path Approach

Understand

We describe mixing scalar particles and Majorana fermions using Closed-Time-Path methods.

• From the Kadanoff-Baym equations, we obtain the charge asymmetry, that is generated from decays and inverse decays of the mixing particles.
• Within one single formalism, we thereby treat Leptogenesis from oscillations and recover as well the standard results for the asymmetry in Resonant Leptogenesis, which apply when the oscillation frequency is much larger than the decay rate.
• Analytic solutions for two mixing neutral particles in a constant-temperature background illustrate our results qualitatively.
