Electroweak Phase Transition in Scale Invariant Standard Model

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2018-12-19 v4

Abstract

In an extension to the scale invariant standard model by two real singlet scalars ss and ss' in addition to the Higgs field, we investigate the strong first-order electroweak phase transition as a requirement for baryogenesis. This is the minimal extension to the scale invariant standard model with two extra degrees of freedom that possesses the physical Higgs mass of 125125 GeV. The scalar ss' being stable because of the Z2\mathbb Z_2 discrete symmetry is taken as the dark matter candidate. We then show that the electroweak phase transition is strongly first-order, the dark matter relic density takes the desired value ΩDMh20.11\Omega_{\text{DM}}h^2 \sim 0.11, and the constraints from direct detection experiments are respected only if msmDM4.5m_{s'}\equiv m_{\text{DM}} \gtrsim 4.5 TeV. The model also puts a lower bound on the scalon mass, ms200m_s \gtrsim 200 GeV.
