Abstract

In this paper, we perform a detail analysis on leptogenesis and dark matter form low scale seesaw. In the framework of ν\nu2HDM, we further introduce one scalar singlet ϕ\phi and one Dirac fermion singlet χ\chi, which are charged under a Z2Z_2 symmetry. Assuming the coupling of χ\chi is extremely small, it serves as a FIMP dark matter. The heavy right hand neutrinos NN provide a common origin for tiny neutrino mass (via seesaw mechanism), leptogenesis (via NLΦν,ˉLΦνN\to \ell_L \Phi_\nu^*,\bar{\ell}_L \Phi_\nu) and dark matter (via NχϕN\to \chi\phi). With hierarchical right hand neutrino masses, the explicit calculation shows that success thermal leptogenesis is viable even for TeV scale N1N_1 with 0.4vν10.4 \lesssim v_\nu\lesssim1 GeV and lightest neutrino mass m11011m_1\lesssim 10^{-11} eV. In such scenario, light FIMP dark matter in the keV to MeV range is naturally expected. The common parameter space for neutrino mass, natural leptogenesis and FIMP DM is also obtained in this paper.
