Asymmetric Dark Matter in Extended Exo-Higgs Scenarios

Abstract

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 χ\chi. In our model, χ\chi can be a viable asymmetric dark matter (ADM) candidate. We predict the mass of the ADM particle to be mχ1.3GeVm_\chi\approx1.3\, \textrm{GeV}. The leptophilic couplings of χ\chi 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 \sim TeV. If the model is further extended to include new heavy vector-like fermions, {\it e.g.} from an ultraviolet extension, χ\chi couplings could explain the 3.5σ\sim 3.5\sigma muon g2g-2 anomaly.
