Abstract

We explore the coincidence of scales between cosmic inflation and right-handed neutrinos in seesaw models. We show that inflation models, which will be tested by next-generation CMB experiments, can produce right-handed neutrinos in sufficient abundance to explain the observed baryon asymmetry of the universe. The model can be tested by gravitational wave signatures from cosmic inflation and particle production.
