Abstract

We propose a minimal extension of Standard Model, generating a Majorana mass for neutron, connected with a mechanism of Post-Sphaleron Baryogenesis. We consider an `exotic vector-like pair' of color-triplet scalars, an extra Majorana fermion ψ\psi, and a scalar field ϕ\phi, giving mass to ψ\psi. The vector-like pair is defined `exotic' because of a peculiar mass term of the color-triplet scalars, violating Baryon number as ΔB=1\Delta B=1. A Post-Sphaleron Baryogenesis is realized through ϕ\phi-decays into six quarks (antiquarks), or through ψ\psi-decays into three quarks (antiquarks). This model suggests some intriguing B-violating signatures, testable in the next future, in Neutron-Antineutron physics and LHC. We also discuss limits from FCNC. Sterile fermion can also be light as 1100GeV1-100\, \rm GeV. In this case, the sterile fermion could be (meta)-stable and nnˉn-\bar{n} oscillation can be indirectly generated by two nψn-\psi, ψnˉ\psi-\bar{n} oscillations, without needing of an effective Majorana mass for neutron. Majorana fermion ψ\psi can be a good candidate for WIMP-like dark matter.
