Abstract: (Elsevier)
Leptogenesis scenarios in supersymmetric hybrid inflation models are considered. Sufficient lepton asymmetry leading to successfull baryogenesis can be obtained if the reheat temperature T r ≳10 6 GeV and the superpotential coupling parameter κ is in the range 10 −6 ≲ κ ≲10 −2 . For this range of κ the scalar spectral index n s ≃0.99±0.01. Constraints from neutrino mixing further restrict the range of κ that is allowed. We analyze in detail the case where the inflaton predominantly decays into the next-to-lightest right-handed Majorana neutrino taking into account especially the constraints from atmospheric neutrino oscillations.- inflation: hybrid
