Abstract

Here, the exo-Higgs model can accommodate a successful baryogenesis mechanism that closely mirrors electroweak baryogenesis in the Standard Model, but avoids its shortcomings. We extend the exo- Higgs model by the addition of a singlet complex scalar. In our model, Χ can be a viable asymmetric dark matter (ADM) candidate. We predict the mass of the ADM particle to be m_x ≈ 1.3 GeV. The leptophilic couplings of can provide for efficient annihilation of the ADM pairs. We also discuss the LHC signals of our scenario, and in particular the production and decays of exo-leptons which would lead to "lepton pair plus missing energy" final states. Our model typically predicts potentially detectable gravitational waves originating from the assumed strong first order phase transition at a temperature of ~TeV. If the model is further extended to include new heavy vector-like fermions, e.g. from an ultraviolet extension, Χ couplings could explain the ~3.5 muon g – 2 anomaly.

Higgs-like boson at 750 GeV and genesis of baryons

Journal Article Davoudiasl, Hooman ; Giardino, Pier Paolo ; Zhang, Cen - Physical Review D

Here, we propose that the diphoton excess at 750 GeV reported by ATLAS and CMS is due to the decay of an exo-Higgs scalar η associated with the breaking of a new SU(2)_e symmetry, dubbed exo-spin. New fermions, exo-quarks and exo-leptons, get TeV-scale masses through Yukawa couplings with η and generate its couplings to gluons and photons at one loop. Furthermore, the matter content of our model yields a B-L anomaly under SU(2)_e, whose breaking we assume entails a first-order phase transition. A nontrivial B-L asymmetry may therefore be generated in the early Universe, potentially providing a baryogenesis mechanism throughmore »« less

Dark $C P$ violation and gauged lepton or baryon number for electroweak baryogenesis

Journal Article Carena, Marcela ; Quirós, Mariano ; Zhang, Yue - Physical Review. D.

We explore the generation of the baryon asymmetry in an extension of the standard model where the lepton number is promoted to a U(1)ℓ gauge symmetry with an associated Z' gauge boson. This is based on a novel electroweak baryogenesis mechanism first proposed by us in Ref. Extra fermionic degrees of freedom, including a fermionic dark matter χ, are introduced in the dark sector for anomaly cancellation. The lepton number is spontaneously broken at high scale and the effective theory, containing the standard model, the Z', the fermionic dark matter, and an additional complex scalar field S, violates CP inmore »« less

CERN LHC phenomenology of an extended standard model with a real scalar singlet

Journal Article Barger, Vernon ; McCaskey, Mathew ; Shaughnessy, Gabe ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

Gauge singlet extensions of the standard model (SM) scalar sector may help remedy its theoretical and phenomenological shortcomings while solving outstanding problems in cosmology. Depending on the symmetries of the scalar potential, such extensions may provide a viable candidate for the observed relic density of cold dark matter or a strong first order electroweak phase transition needed for electroweak baryogenesis. Using the simplest extension of the SM scalar sector with one real singlet field, we analyze the generic implications of a singlet-extended scalar sector for Higgs boson phenomenology at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We consider two broad scenarios: onemore »« less

Enhancement of Majorana dark matter annihilation through Higgs bremsstrahlung

Journal Article Luo, Feng ; You, Tevong - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

For Majorana dark matter, gauge boson bremsstrahlung plays an important role in enhancing an otherwise helicity-suppressed s-wave annihilation cross-section. This is well known for processes involving a radiated photon or gluon together with a Standard Model fermion-antifermion pair, and the case of massive electroweak gauge bosons has also recently been studied. Here we show that internal Higgs bremsstrahlung also lifts helicity suppression and could be the dominant contribution to the annihilation rate in the late Universe for dark matter masses below ∼ 1 TeV. Using a toy model of leptophilic dark matter, we calculate the annihilation cross-section into a lepton-antileptonmore »« less
