Abstract

We consider a mirror world scenario, in which light Dirac neutrinos are generated from a seesaw mechanism and leptogenesis occurs at high scale without violating lepton number. After leptogenesis, the conservation laws of the theory imply the visible baryon-minus-lepton asymmetry to be equal to the mirror baryon-minus-lepton asymmetry. We extend previous work by presenting a detailed study of this Dirac leptogenesis mechanism by constructing the full set of Boltzmann Equations for both cases of unflavored and flavored regimes. We show that $Z_2$ breaking and lepton/mirror lepton flavor effects can be exploited to enhance the final baryon-minus-lepton asymmetry in our world by several orders of magnitude.<br />Comment: 24 pages, 3 figures; abstract and introduction modified, reference to an earlier work on the subject added, section and detailed discussion about flavor enhancement effects added; JCAP version
