Leptogenesis at Low Scale
  A typical problem of the leptogenesis scenario is the mismatch between the maximum reheat temperature implied by gravitino overproduction bound and the minimum temperature required to create thermally the lightest right-handed neutrino. We explore the possibility of baryogenesis via leptogenesis in the presence of low scale mass right-handed neutrino. In such a scenario, right-handed neutrinos are created thermally at low reheat temperatures without relying on non-perturbative production mechanisms. We focus on two specific realizations of the scenario, namely the out-of-equilibrium decay of right-handed neutrinos (Fukugita-Yanagida) and the leptogenesis via the $LH_u$ flat direction (Affleck-Dine). We find that in general, the two scenarios are able to produce the required baryon excess for a reasonable amount of CP violation.
