Particle dark matter density and entropy production in the early universe

Dark Matter (DM) density is reduced if entropy production takes place after DM particles abundance is frozen out in the early universe. We study a possibility of such reduction due to entropy production in the electroweak phase transition (EWPT). We compare scenarios of entropy production in the standard model (SM) and its simplest extension, the two-Higgs doublet model (2HDM). Assuming the EWPT is of second order in the SM scenario and the first order in the 2HDM, we calculate the entropy release in these scenarios and the corresponding dilution of preexisting DM density in the early universe. We find the effect of dilution in EWPT significant for confrontation with observations of any form of possible DM (including primordial black holes (PBHs)), which is frozen out, decoupled, frozen in, or formed before EWPT.

Entopy release in Electroweak Phase Transition in 2HDM

Electroweak phase transition in the simplest extension of the standard model namely two Higgs doublet model and entropy production within this framework is studied. We have considered several benchmark points which were called using BSMPT, a C++ package, within the limit of $vev/T_C>0.2$ are studied, and corresponding entropy productions are shown in this paper.

Dark matter dilution scenarios in the early universe

When the vacuum like energy of the Higgs potential within the standard model undergoes electroweak phase transition, an influx of entropy into the primordial plasma can lead to a significant dilution of frozen out dark matter density that was already present before the onset of the phase transition. The same effect can take place, if the early Universe was dominated by primordial black holes of small mass, evaporating before the period of Big Bang Nucleosynthesis. In this paper we calculate the dilution factor for the above mentioned scenarios.

Charge asymmetry of new stable quarks in baryon asymmetrical Universe

Effects of electroweak phase transition (EWPT) in balance between baryon excess and the excess of stable quarks of new generation is studied. With the conservation of SU(2) symmetry and other quantum numbers, it makes possible sphaleron transitions between baryons, leptons and new of leptons and quarks. A definite relationship between the excess relative to baryon asymmetry is established. In passing by we also show the small, yet negligible dilution in the pre-existing dark matter density due the sphaleron transition.

Balancing Asymmetric Dark Matter with Baryon Asymmetry by Sphaleron Transitions

The effect of the electroweak sphaleron transition in balance between baryon excess and and the excess of stable quarks of 4th generation is studied in this paper. Considering the non-violation of $SU(2)$ symmetry and the conservation of electroweak and new charges and quantum numbers of the new family, it makes possible sphaleron transitions between baryons, leptons and 4th family of leptons and quarks. In this paper, we have tried to established a possible definite relationship between the value and sign of the 4th family excess relative to baryon asymmetry. If $U$-type quarks are the lightest quarks of the 4th family and sphaleron transitions provide excessive $\bar U$ antiquarks, asymmetric dark matter in the form of dark atom bound state of ($\bar{U} \bar{U} \bar{U}$) with primordial He nuclei is balanced with baryon asymmetry.

Balancing asymmetric dark matter with baryon asymmetry and dilution of frozen dark matter by sphaleron transition

In this paper we study the effect of electroweak sphaleron transition or electroweak phase transition (EWPT) in balancing baryon excess to the excess stable quarks of $4^{th}$ generation. Considering the conservation of all quantum number and charges, sphaleron transition between between baryons, leptons and $4^{th}$ family of leptons and quarks is possible. We have tried to established a possible definite relationship between the value and sign of the $4^{th}$ family excess relative to baryon asymmetry under the framework of second order EWPT. In passing by we show the small, yet negligible dilution in the pre-existing dark matter density due the sphaleron transition.

Effects of 2HDM in electroweak phase transition

The entropy production scenarios due to electroweak phase transition (EWPT) in the framework of the minimal extension of standard model namely two Higgs doublet model(2HDM) is revisited. The possibility of first order phase transition is discussed. Intense parameter scanning is done with the help of BSMPT, a C++ package. Numerical calculations are performed in order to calculate the entropy production with numerous benchmark points.

Entropy production due to electroweak phase transition in the framework of two Higgs doublet model

We revisit the possibility of first order electroweak phase transition~(EWPT) in one of the simplest extensions of the Standard Model (SM) scalar sector, namely the two-Higgs-doublet model~(2HDM). We take into account the ensuing constraints from the electroweak precision tests, Higgs signal strengths, and the recent LHC bounds from direct scalar searches. By studying the vacuum transition in 2HDM, we discuss in detail the entropy released in the first order EWPT in various parameter planes of 2HDM.

Electroweak phase transition and entropy release in the early universe

It is shown that the vacuum-like energy of the Higgs potential at non-zero temperatures leads, in the course of the cosmological expansion, to a small but non-negligible rise of the entropy density in the comoving volume. This increase is calculated in the frameworks of the minimal standard model. The result can have a noticeable effect on the outcome of baryo-through-leptogenesis.
