Natural leptogenesis and neutrino masses with two Higgs doublets

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2015-08-26 v2

Abstract

The minimal Type I see-saw model cannot explain the observed neutrino masses and the baryon asymmetry of the Universe via hierarchical thermal leptogenesis without ceding naturalness. We show that this conclusion can be avoided by adding a second Higgs doublet with tanβ4\tan\beta\gtrsim 4. The models considered naturally accommodate a SM-like Higgs boson, and predict TeV-scale scalar states and low- to intermediate-scale hierarchical leptogenesis with 103 GeVMN1108 GeV10^3\text{ GeV}\lesssim M_{N_1}\lesssim 10^8\text{ GeV}.
