Baryon asymmetry from left-right phase transition
Abstract
We extend the standard model fermions by a mirror copy to realize a left-right symmetry. During a strongly first order phase transition of the spontaneous left-right symmetry breaking, the CP-violating reflections of the mirror fermions off the mirror Higgs bubbles can generate a mirror lepton asymmetry and an equal mirror baryon asymmetry. We then can obtain an ordinary baryon asymmetry through the mirror fermion decays where a dark matter scalar plays an essential role. Benefitted from a parity symmetry for solving the strong CP problem, the cosmic baryon asymmetry can be well described by the ordinary lepton mass matrices up to an overall factor. In this scenario, the Dirac CP phase in the Majorana neutrino mass matrix can provide a unique source for the required CP violation. Furthermore, the Higgs triplet for type-II seesaw as well as the first generation of mirror charged fermions can be allowed at the TeV scale.
