Description

The scenario of baryogenesis through leptogenesis will be reviewed. This is an appealing scenario that may relate the observed baryon asymmetry in the Universe to the low-energy neutrino data. Particular emphasis will be put on recent developments on the field, such as the flavourdynamics of leptogenesis and resonant leptogenesis near the electroweak phase transition. I will illustrate how these recent developments enable the modelling of phenomenologically predictive scenarios that can directly be tested at the LHC and indirectly in low-energy experiments of lepton-number and lepton-flavour violation.
