Description

We study thermal leptogenesis in a broad class of supersymmetric SO(10) models with a left-right symmetric seesaw mechanism. We show that including lepton flavour effects together with the second-lightest right-handed neutrino, leptogenesis can work for specific spectra reconstructed from the low-energy data. Moreover, we show that corrections to the relation Me=Md are crucial ingredients for leptogenesis to work.
