Radiative neutrino mass, dark matter and electroweak baryogenesis from the supersymmetric gauge theory with confinement

TL;DR

This paper introduces a supersymmetric gauge theory-based model that simultaneously explains neutrino masses, dark matter, and baryogenesis through a novel extended Higgs sector arising from confinement dynamics.

Contribution

It presents a new unified framework linking neutrino mass generation, dark matter candidates, and electroweak baryogenesis within a supersymmetric gauge theory with confinement.

Findings

Electroweak phase transition can be strongly first order at ~10 TeV confinement scale.

The model provides a dark matter candidate among Z2-odd particles.

A benchmark scenario satisfies current experimental constraints.

Abstract

We propose a simple model to explain neutrino mass, dark matter and baryogenesis based on the extended Higgs sector which appears in the low-energy effective theory of a supersymmetric gauge theory with confinement. We here consider the SU(2)$_H$ gauge symmetry with three flavours of fundamental representations which are charged under the standard SU(3)$_C\times$ SU(2)$_L\times$U(1)$_Y$ symmetry and a new discrete $Z_2$ symmetry. We also introduce $Z_2$-odd right-handed neutrino superfields in addition to the standard model matter superfields. The low-energy effective theory below the confinement scale contains the Higgs sector with fifteen composite superfields, some of which are $Z_2$-odd. When the confinement scale is of the order of ten TeV, electroweak phase transition can be sufficiently of first order, which is required for successful electroweak baryogenesis. The lightest $Z_2$-odd particle can be a new candidate for dark matter, in addition to the lightest $R$-parity odd particle. Neutrino masses and mixings can be explained by the quantum effects of $Z_2$-odd fields via the one-loop and three-loop diagrams. We find a benchmark scenario of the model, where all the constraints from the current neutrino, dark matter, lepton flavour violation and LHC data are satisfied. Predictions of the model are shortly discussed.
