Electroweak Phase Transition in Scale Invariant Standard Model
Abstract
In an extension to the scale invariant standard model by two real singlet scalars and 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 GeV. The scalar being stable because of the 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 , and the constraints from direct detection experiments are respected only if TeV. The model also puts a lower bound on the scalon mass, GeV.
