Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the common parameter space of dark matter and leptogenesis in the U(1)BLU(1)_{B-L} symmetry. This model involves a complex scalar ϕ\phi, sterile neutrinos NN, and Majorana dark matter χ\chi, where only dark matter χ\chi is charged under the Z2Z_2 symmetry. Masses of NN and χ\chi are generated via the Yukawa interactions to ϕ\phi after breaking of the U(1)BLU(1)_{B-L} symmetry. TeV scale sterile neutrinos NN are responsible for the generation of baryon asymmetry through the resonance leptogenesis mechanism. The new particles in the U(1)BLU(1)_{B-L} have a significant impact on the dilution of NN, thus on leptogenesis. Meanwhile, the annihilation processes of dark matter χ\chi are almost identical to that of NN, which indicates that both leptogenesis and dark matter are closely related to satisfying the observed results simultaneously. Under various theoretical and experimental constraints, the viable common parameter space of dark matter and leptogenesis is obtained for both global and local U(1)BLU(1)_{B-L} symmetry.
