Abstract:
We study the correlation between CP violation in neutrino oscillations and leptogenesis in the framework with two heavy Majorana neutrinos and three light neutrinos. Among three unremovable CP phases, a heavy Majorana phase contributes to leptogenesis. We show how the heavy Majorana phase contributes to Jarlskog determinant JJ as well as neutrinoless double β\beta decay by identifying a low energy CP violating phase which signals the CP violating phase for leptogenesis. For some specific cases of the Dirac mass term of neutrinos, a direct relation between lepton number asymmetry and JJ is obtained. For the most general case of the framework, we study the effect on J J coming from the phases which are not related to leptogenesis, and also show how the correlation can be lost in the presence of those phases.
