Technicolor Assisted Leptogenesis with an Ultra-Heavy Higgs Doublet

TL;DR

This paper proposes a novel leptogenesis mechanism involving an ultra-heavy Higgs doublet (~10^8 GeV) that naturally produces small neutrino masses and may also explain asymmetric dark matter, with potential observable signals.

Contribution

It introduces a new leptogenesis scenario based on decays of an ultra-heavy Higgs doublet, linking neutrino mass generation and dark matter asymmetry.

Findings

Ultra-heavy Higgs can generate small Dirac neutrino masses.

Decays of the ultra-heavy Higgs can produce the observed matter-antimatter asymmetry.

Scenario suggests potential signals detectable in future experiments.

Abstract

If fermion condensation is a main source of electroweak symmetry breaking, an ultra-heavy Higgs doublet of mass ~10^8 GeV can yield naturally small Dirac neutrino masses. We show that such a scenario can lead to a new leptogenesis mechanism based on the decays of the ultra-heavy Higgs. Given its very large mass, the requisite Higgs doublet can be considered an elementary particle and would point to a cutoff scale ~10^10 GeV. We outline how our scenario can also naturally lead to composite asymmetric dark matter. Some potential signals of this scenario are discussed.
