Title: Syndetic extension of baryon and lepton numbers: Proton decay and long-lived dark matter

Abstract

The well-known baryon and lepton numbers of the standard model of quarks and leptons are extended to include new fermions and bosons in a simple structure with several essential features. The usual heavy right-handed neutrino singlets (for neutrino mass and leptogenesis) are related to the axion which solves the strong $CP$ problem. At the same time, baryon number is broken softly, allowing the proton to decay. Associated with this breaking, a long-lived dark-matter candidate (called the pseudosakharon) emerges. This new insight connects proton decay to a new component of dark matter.

Type-II seesaws at colliders, lepton asymmetry and singlet scalar dark matter

Journal Article McDonald, John ; Sahu, Narendra ; Sarkar, Utpal - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

We propose an extension of the standard model with a B-L global symmetry that is broken softly at the TeV scale. The neutrinos acquire masses through a type-II seesaw while the lepton (L) asymmetry arises in the singlet sector but without B-L-number violation. The model has the virtue that the scale of L-number violation ({Lambda}) giving rise to neutrino masses is independent of the scale of leptogenesis ({Lambda}'). As a result the model can explain neutrino masses, singlet scalar dark matter and leptogenesis at the TeV scale. The stability of the dark matter is ensured by a surviving Z{sub 2}more »« less

Anomalous leptonic U(1) symmetry: Syndetic origin of the QCD axion, weak-scale dark matter, and radiative neutrino mass

Journal Article Ma, Ernest ; Restrepo, Diego ; Zapata, Óscar - Modern Physics Letters A

The well-known leptonic U(1) symmetry of the Standard Model (SM) of quarks and leptons is extended to include a number of new fermions and scalars. Here, the resulting theory has an invisible QCD axion (thereby solving the strong CP problem), a candidate for weak-scale dark matter (DM), as well as radiative neutrino masses. A possible key connection is a color-triplet scalar, which may be produced and detected at the Large Hadron Collider.

Leptogenesis, radiative neutrino masses and inert Higgs triplet dark matter

Journal Article Lu, Wen-Bin ; Gu, Pei-Hong - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

We extend the standard model by three types of inert fields including Majorana fermion singlets/triplets, real Higgs singlets/triplets and leptonic Higgs doublets. In the presence of a softly broken lepton number and an exactly conserved Z{sub 2} discrete symmetry, these inert fields together can mediate a one-loop diagram for a Majorana neutrino mass generation. The heavier inert fields can decay to realize a successful leptogenesis while the lightest inert field can provide a stable dark matter candidate. As an example, we demonstrate the leptogenesis by the inert Higgs doublet decays. We also perform a systematic study on the inert Higgsmore »« less

Large lepton asymmetry for small baryon asymmetry and warm dark matter

Journal Article Peihong, Gu - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We propose a resonant leptogenesis scenario in a U(1){sub B-L} gauge extension of the standard model to generate large lepton asymmetries for cosmological baryon asymmetry and dark matter. After the B-L number is spontaneously broken, the inflaton can pick up a small vacuum expectation value for the mass splits of three pairs of quasidegenerately heavy Majorana neutrinos and the masses of three sterile neutrinos. With thermal mass effects of sphalerons, the observed small baryon asymmetry can be converted from large lepton asymmetries of individual flavors, although total lepton asymmetry is assumed zero. The mixing between sterile and active neutrinos ismore »« less

Pseudo-majoron as light mediator of singlet scalar dark matter

Journal Article Ma, Ernest ; Maniatis, Markos - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

In the singlet-triplet majoron model of neutrino mass, lepton number is spontaneously broken. If it is also softly broken, then a naturally light pseudoscalar particle ηI exists. It may then act as a light mediator for a real singlet scalar χ with odd dark parity. It is itself unstable, but decays dominantly to two neutrinos through its triplet scalar component, thereby not disturbing the cosmic microwave background (CMB). It also mixes with the standard-model Higgs boson only in one loop, thereby not contributing significantly to the elastic scattering of χ off nuclei in dark-matter direct-search experiments.
