Effective Field Theories for Heavy Majorana Neutrinos in a Thermal Bath
This thesis discusses the construction of an effective field theory (EFT) for non-relativistic Majorana fermions, shows how to use it to calculate observables in a thermal medium, and derives the effects of these thermal particles on the CP asymmetry. The methods described in this thesis are the on...
