| Research Abstract |
We have studied the origin of the CP violation and the matter ant anti-matter asymmetry based on leptogenesis scenario. In the scenario, matter and anti-matter asymmetry is generated through CP violation for lepton number generation. We clarified CP violation of seesaw model which is the bases for leptogenesis. In particular, we solve the problems about the relation between CP violation which will be observed in neutrino oscillation and CP violation which is related to matter and anti-matter asymmetry. We pointed out by measuring the asymmetry of the probability for muon neutrino-electron neutrino transition rate and the probability for anti-muon neutrino-anti-electron neutrino transition, then we may figure out how much matter and anti-matter asymmetry may remain in our universe. By comparing with the theoretical prediction and astronomical observation about baryonic matter, we can prove the scenario. Further, we studied the various processes which are relevant for baryon unmber generation in the early universe.
