Scalar Triplet Flavor Leptogenesis with Dark Matter

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2022-06-08 v2

Abstract

We investigate a simple variant of type-II seesaw, responsible for neutrino mass generation, where the particle spectrum is extended with one singlet right-handed neutrino and an inert Higgs doublet, both odd under an additional Z2Z_2 symmetry. While the role of the dark matter is played by the lightest neutral component of the inert Higgs doublet, its interaction with the Standard Model lepton doublets and the right-handed neutrino turns out to be crucial in generating the correct baryon abundance of the Universe through flavored leptogenesis from the decay of the SU(2)LSU(2)_L scalar triplet, involved in type-II framework.
