Neutrino masses, mixing, and leptogenesis in an S3 model

Abstract

In this work we use previous results on the masses and mixing of neu- trinos of an S3 model with three right-handed Majorana neutrinos and three Higgs doublets, to reduce one parameter in the case when two of the right-handed neutrinos are mass degenerate. We derive a new param- eterization for the VP M N S mixing matrix, with a new set of parameters, in the more general case where the right-handed neutrino masses are dif- ferent. With these results, we calculate leptogenesis and the associated baryogenesis in the model in the two different scenarios. We show that it is possible to have enough leptogenesis to explain the baryonic asymmetry with right-handed neutrino masses above 10^{6} GeV.
