Radiative Dirac neutrino mass, DAMPE dark matter and leptogenesis

TL;DR

This paper presents a model that explains the DAMPE electron-positron excess, predicts dark fermions, and supports leptogenesis, linking neutrino mass, dark matter, and baryon asymmetry in a unified framework.

Contribution

It introduces a radiative Dirac seesaw model with a dark U(1)_X symmetry that explains cosmic phenomena and predicts testable dark matter interactions.

Findings

Explains DAMPE electron-positron excess via dark fermions.

Predicts dark fermions that cancel gauge anomalies.

Supports leptogenesis for baryon asymmetry generation.

Abstract

We explain the electron-positron excess reported by the DAMPE collaboration recently in a radiative Dirac seesaw model where a dark $U(1)_X$ gauge symmetry can (i) forbid the tree-level Yukawa couplings of three right-handed neutrinos to the standard model lepton and Higgs doublets, (ii) predict the existence of three dark fermions for the gauge anomaly cancellation, (iii) mediate a testable scattering of the lightest dark fermion off the nucleons. Our model can also accommodate a successful leptogenesis to generate the cosmic baryon asymmetry.
