摘要
We study CP asymmetries in lepton-number violating two-body scattering processes and show how they are related to CP asymmetries in the decays of intermediate massive Majorana neutrinos. Self-energy corrections, which do not contribute to CP asymmetries in two-body processes, induce CP violating couplings of the intermediate Majorana neutrinos to lepton-Higgs states. We briefly comment on the implications of these results for applications at finite temperature. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
