Can we test Leptogenesis?

In this talk we ask if there are ways to connect the observed baryon asymmetry along with the requirement for a light neutrino mass. This is motivated if one assumes the existence of a heavy right-handed neutrino which under some restrictions, can provide an explanation to both these observations. However, as it turns out a honest-to-goodness correlation requires additional model inputs. We illustrate this in a specific example.
