Once the symmetry gets broken then three physical Higgses are produced, one axion like particle (ALP), which also acts as the keV scale FIMP dark matter is produced and the remaining component is absorbed by the extra gauge boson.

One triplet of fermions and the singlet are odd under a Z2 symmetry, thus the model features two possible dark matter candidates. The two remaining Z2-even triplet fermions can reproduce the neutrino masses and oscillation parameters consistent with observations. We consider the case where the singlet has feeble couplings while the triplet is weakly interacting and investigate the different possibilities for reproducing the observed dark matter relic density. This includes production of the triplet WIMP from freeze-out and from decay of the singlet as well as freeze-in production of the singlet from decay of particles that belong to the thermal bath or are thermally decoupled. While freeze-in production is usually dominated by decay processes, we also show cases where the annihilation of bath particles give substantial contribution to the final relic density. This occurs when the new scalars are below the TeV scale, thus in the reach of the LHC. The next-to-lightest odd particle can be long-lived and can alter the successful BBN predictions for the abundance of light elements, these constraints are relevant in both the scenarios where the singlet or the triplet are the long-lived particle. In the case where the triplet is the DM, the model is subject to constraints from ongoing direct, indirect and collider experiments. When the singlet is the DM, the triplet which is the next-to-lightest odd particle can be long-lived and can be probed at the proposed MATHUSLA detector. Finally we also address the detection prospects of triplet fermions and scalars at the LHC."],["dc.identifier.citation","Journal of High Energy Physics. 2022 Nov 23;2022(11):133"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/JHEP11(2022)133"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/117765"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.publisher","Springer Berlin Heidelberg"],["dc.rights.holder","The Author(s)"],["dc.subject","Models for Dark Matter"],["dc.subject","Particle Nature of Dark Matter"],["dc.title","WIMP and FIMP dark matter in singlet-triplet fermionic model"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

The baryon asymmetry of the Universe can arise from thermal leptogenesis from the decay of lightest RH neutrino before the decoupling of the electroweak sphaleron transitions, which redistribute the B − L number into a baryon number. At the same time, the decay of the RH neutrino can produce the Dark Matter (DM) as an asymmetric Dark Matter component. The source of CP violation in the two sectors is exactly the same, related to the complex couplings of the neutrinos.

In the present work, we have proposed a suitable extension of the minimal Lμ − Lτ model to address these two experimental results as the minimal model is unable to provide any realistic solution. In our model, a new Yukawa interaction involving first generation of leptons, a singlet vector like fermion (χ±) and a scalar (either an SU(2)L doublet Φ 4 ′ $ {\\Phi}_4^{\\prime } $ or a complex singlet Φ 4 ′ $ {\\Phi}_4^{\\prime } $ ) provides the additional one loop contribution to ae only on top of the usual contribution coming from the Lμ − Lτ gauge boson (Zμτ) to both electron and muon. The judicious choice of Lμ − Lτ charges to these new fields results in a strongly interacting scalar dark matter in O $ \\mathcal{O} $ (MeV) range after taking into account the bounds from relic density, unitarity and self interaction. The freeze-out dynamics of dark matter is greatly influenced by 3 → 2 scatterings while the kinetic equilibrium with the SM bath is ensured by 2 → 2 scatterings with neutrinos where Zμτ plays a pivotal role. The detection of dark matter is possible directly through scatterings with nuclei mediated by the SM Z bosons.
