Gravitational wave complementarity and impact of NANOGrav data on gravitational leptogenesis: cosmic strings (2009.13452v3)

Published 28 Sep 2020 in hep-ph, astro-ph.CO, astro-ph.GA, and gr-qc

Abstract: In seesaw mechanism, if right handed (RH) neutrino masses are generated dynamically by a gauged $U(1)$ symmetry breaking, a stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) sourced by a cosmic string network could be a potential probe of leptogenesis. We show that the leptogenesis mechanism that facilitates the dominant production of lepton asymmetry via the quantum effects of right-handed neutrinos in gravitational background, can be probed by GW detectors as well as next-generation neutrinoless double beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$) experiments in a complementary way. We infer that for a successful leptogenesis, an exclusion limit on $f-\Omega_{\rm GW}h2$ plane would correspond to an exclusion on the $|m_{\beta\beta}|-m_1$ plane as well. We consider a normal light neutrino mass ordering and discuss how recent NANOGrav pulsar timing data (if interpreted as GW signal) e.g., at 95$\%$ CL, would correlate with the potential discovery or null signal in $0\nu\beta\beta$ decay experiments.
