Abstract

We consider the baryogenesis picture in the Zee-Babu model. Our analysis shows that electroweak phase transition (EWPT) in the model is a first-order phase transition at the 100 GeV scale, its strength ranges from 1 to 4.15 and the masses of charged Higgs boson are smaller than 300 GeV. The EWPT is strengthened by only the new bosons and this strength is enhanced by arbitrary $\ensuremath{\xi}$ gauge. However, the $\ensuremath{\xi}$ gauge does not break the first-order EWPT or, in other words, the $\ensuremath{\xi}$ gauge is not the cause of the EWPT. This leads to the fact that the calculation of EWPT in Landau gauge is enough; and the latter may provide baryon-number violation (B-violation) necessary for baryogenesis in the relationship with nonequilibrium physics in the early universe.

Highlights

  • Physics, at present, has entered into a new period on the understanding of the early Universe

  • Our analysis shows that electroweak phase transition (EWPT) in the model is a first-order phase transition at the 100 GeV scale, its strength ranges from 1 to 4.15 and the masses of charged Higgs boson are smaller than 300 GeV

  • For the standard model (SM), the EWPT strength is larger than unity at the electroweak scale, the mass of the Higgs boson must be less than 125 GeV [2,4,5]; so the electroweak baryogenesis (EWBG) requires new physics beyond the SM at the weak scale [6]

Summary

INTRODUCTION

At present, has entered into a new period on the understanding of the early Universe. The electroweak baryogenesis (EWBG) is a way to explaining the baryon asymmetry of the Universe (BAU) in the early Universe, associating with Sakharov conditions, which are B, C, CP violations, and deviation from thermal equilibrium [1] These conditions can be satisfied when the EWPT must be a strongly first-order phase transition. For the SM, the EWPT strength is larger than unity at the electroweak scale, the mass of the Higgs boson must be less than 125 GeV [2,4,5]; so the EWBG requires new physics beyond the SM at the weak scale [6] Many extensions such as the two-Higgs-doublet model, the reduced minimal 3-3-1 model, the economical 3-3-1 model, or the minimal supersymmetric standard model, have a strongly first-order EWPT and the new sources of CP violation, which are necessary to account for the BAU; triggers for the first-order EWPT in these models are heavy bosons or dark matter candidates [7,8,9,10,11,16,17,18,20].
