In this talk I will discuss the compatibility between the Neutrino Option, in which the electroweak scale is generated by PeV scale Majorana neutrinos, and leptogenesis. In particular, we find the Neutrino Option is consistent with resonant leptogenesis and we subsequently explore the viable parameter space.
High scale leptogenesis is notoriously difficult to probe experimentally. In this talk, I will discuss constraints on a minimal model, in which the observed baryon asymmetry is realized after the inflaton decays into the lightest sterile neutrino. Because this scenario induces a Higgs-inflation coupling at the radiative level, strong constraints come from the stability of the Higgs vacuum...
Recent observations of TeV blazars by Fermi identified deficits of secondary GeV cascade photons.
These observations can be explained by intergalactic magnetic fields, which may have a primordial origin.
If the magnetic fields are helical and generated in the early Universe such as before the electroweak symmetry
breaking, nontrivial interaction between (hyper)magnetic fields and other...
We present a study of the electroweak baryogenesis in composite Higgs models, with a focus on the case where the electroweak phase transition (EWPT) happens simultaneously with the confinement phase transition of the new strong sector. We show that the EWPT can naturally be strongly first order, and the scale-dependent top quark Yukawa can result in a sufficient amount of CP violation, without...
We explore the possibility that the electroweak phase transition happens at a scale much higher than the electroweak scale today. In this context, high scale CP-violating sources for electroweak baryogenesis are not constrained by low-energy experiments. We propose a scenario of high-scale electroweak baryogenesis linked to flavour physics. This scenario allows for a period of enhanced Yukawa...
Leptogenesis induced by the oscillations of GeV-scale neutrinos provides a minimal and testable explanation of the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. In this work we extend previous studies invoking only two heavy neutrinos to the case of three heavy neutrinos. We find qualitatively new behavior as a result of lepton number violating oscillations and decays, strong flavor effects in the...
In this talk we consider the scenario in which the Standard model is augmented by three generations of right-handed neutrinos and a scalar doublet. The newly introduced fields share an odd charge under a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ parity symmetry. We present a scenario in which the dark matter particle is at the keV-scale. Such particle is free from X-ray limits due to the unbroken parity symmetry that...
In this talk, based on arXiv:1810.00880, I will present a new mechanism of Baryogenesis and dark matter production in which both the dark matter relic abundance and the baryon asymmetry arise from neutral B meson oscillations and subsequent decays.
We propose a new testable leptogenesis mechanism where the lepton asymmetry is generated from the interference of tree-level diagrams only. As a concrete example, we consider an amalgamation of the scotogenic model with an inert Higgs doublet and right-handed neutrinos, along with an electroweak-triplet scalar for a type-II seesaw. The imaginary part needed for the required CP-asymmetry comes...
In this talk I will explore a simple model which naturally explains the observed BAU. The strong coupling is promoted to a dynamical quantity, evolving through the VEV of a singlet field which mixes with the Higgs. In the resulting cosmic history, QCD confinement and EWSB occur simultaneously close to the weak scale. The early confinement triggers the axion to roll toward its minimum, and the...
