Baryon asymmetry
● Observed universe mainly made out of matter.
● Reasonable assumption: after Big-Bang same amount of matter and antimatter generated.
● The observed baryon asymmetry is quoted in terms of the abundance (number-density asymmetry of baryons normalized to the entropy density):
How can this matter asymmetry of our Universe be generated?

Conclusions
● Low Scale Minimal seesaw models are testable and highly predictive
● Successful baryogenesis is possible with a mild heavy neutrino degeneracy, small NR masses M~O(GeV), and significant NR contributions to neutrinoless double beta decay.
● If O(GeV) heavy neutrinos would be discovered in SHiP and the neutrino ordering is inverted, predicting the baryon asymmetry looks in principle viable.
● Extremely constrained flavor structure which shows a strong correlation with the PMNS CP-phases.
● New window to determine PMNS CP violating phases (both the Dirac and Majorana phases).
● Precise measurement of flavor ratios will be essential in establishing the connection between the observed heavy states and neutrino masses.

● suggests M close to the GUT scale.
● Drawback: New Physics effects at low energies very suppressed by the NP scale M.
Light New Physics scale
● Contrary to the high scale models, a low Majorana scale does not worsen the Higgs mass hierarchy problem.
Vissani 1998
● Drawback: In principle, a small M requires . Suppression of the NP effects controlled by the Yukawa couplings.
Sizable Phenomenology?

● Way out. Neutrino mass suppression coming from symmetry. Approximate L conservation.
