Systematic derivation of the Boltzmann equation for electroweak baryogenesis

We derive the Boltzmann equation for electroweak baryogenesis within a field-theoretical framework. We first algebraically solve the Kadanoff--Baym equations by incorporating the effects of gradients of the CP-violating bubble-wall background order by order. We then apply approximations and assumptions appropriate for electroweak baryogenesis and identify the on-shell parts of the solutions, which describe quasiparticle states propagating in a plasma. Using these on-shell solutions, we derive the Boltzmann equations for flavor-diagonal quasiparticle modes, while neglecting the off-diagonal components describing quantum coherence between different flavor modes. Our derivation generalizes previous field-theoretical treatments by retaining self-energy corrections, and our results are consistent with the known Boltzmann equations when these corrections are neglected. This framework provides a systematic and transparent derivation applicable to multi-flavor bosonic and fermionic systems.

Dark Matter Interpretation of the Super-Kamiokande Antineutrino Excess in $\mathrm{U}(1)_{L_μ-L_τ}$ model

Recent Super-Kamiokande analyses of the diffuse supernova neutrino background, based on data across all SK phases, indicate a mild preference over the zero-DSNB hypothesis at the level of about $2.3σ$ with electron-like antineutrino events at $E_{\barν_e} \simeq 20\,\mathrm{MeV}$. We investigate whether this excess can be explained by MeV-scale dark matter annihilation into neutrinos in a $\mathrm{U}(1)_{L_μ- L_τ}$ model. The dark matter is a Dirac fermion with $m_χ\simeq 22\,\mathrm{MeV}$ that annihilates via a light $Z'$ mediator into $ν_μ\barν_μ$ and $ν_τ\barν_τ$, which are partly converted into $\barν_e$ through flavor oscillations. We find that this scenario simultaneously accounts for the excess and the observed relic abundance via thermal freeze-out. We further discuss the relevant laboratory and cosmological constraints, including neutrino trident production, NA64-$μ$, Borexino, and the contribution to $ΔN_\mathrm{eff}$.

Classification of Higgs sectors from group theoretical properties of UV gauge theories

Extended Higgs sectors are often introduced to explain phenomena beyond the standard model (BSM). The existence of multiple scalar fields may cause the Landau pole below the Planck scale. In this case, the low-energy theory may be replaced by an asymptotic-free gauge theory. In this paper, we consider an $\mathrm{SU}(2)$ gauge theory with confinement as such an ultraviolet theory of the extended Higgs sectors. We investigate the relation between scalar particle contents at the low energy and group theoretical properties of fundamental fermions of the gauge theory. We find that particle contents of various extended Higgs sectors previously proposed to explain the BSM problems are deduced by each charge assignment of flavor symmetry of the fundamental fermions of the $\mathrm{SU}(2)$ gauge symmetry. Our findings may provide a new picture for the ultraviolet completion of the extended Higgs sectors.

Feasibility Study of Lepton Number Violation in Rare $B$ and $K$ Meson Decays

We study lepton-number-violating interactions at dimension seven in the Standard Model effective field theory that contribute to the meson decays $B \to K νν$ and $K \to πνν$. Such interactions could washout the baryon asymmetry of the Universe and also contribute to the neutrinoless double beta decay, even though the interactions involve a change in down-type quark flavors. We clarify conditions under which excesses in meson decay rates over the Standard Model predictions can be successfully observed. We also show that, although these interactions contribute to neutrino masses at the two-loop level, the Weinberg operator can be introduced consistently without spoiling the scenario.

Electroweak baryogenesis in 2HDM without EDM cancellation

We study two Higgs doublet models with successful electroweak baryogenesis but without cancellations of electric dipole moments (EDMs). For the baryogenesis, additional scalar bosons are favored to couple mainly with the top quark with CP violations. However, if they also couple to light fermions of the Standard Model, the model is limited severely by EDMs, and additional CP phases irrelevant to the baryogenesis are often introduced to cancel the contributions to the EDMs. Alternatively, we consider a scenario where the light-fermion couplings are suppressed to avoid the constraints. In our scenario, it is found that the leading contributions arise in the top-quark EDMs at the two-loop level. They induce the electron, neutron, and proton EDMs via radiative corrections. Since there is no additional CP-violating phase, they are correlated with the baryon asymmetry. We show that our scenario is compatible with the current experimental bounds and is within the scope of future EDM experiments.

Testing the gauged $\mathrm{U(1)}_{B-L}$ model for loop induced neutrino mass with dark matter

We present a new viable benchmark scenario under the current experimental data for the model which can explain tiny mass of active neutrinos and dark matter, as a summary of our results. Majorana masses of right-handed neutrinos are given by the spontaneous breaking of the $\mathrm{U(1)}_{B-L}$ gauge symmetry above the electroweak scale, and tiny neutrino masses are radiatively induced by quantum effects of particles of the dark sector including dark matter candidates. We first show benchmark points which satisfy current experimental data, and then give comments on how this model can be tested at collider experiments.

CP violation of the loop induced $H^\pm \to W^\pm Z$ decays in general two Higgs doublet model

New sources of CP violation are necessary to solve the problem of the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. Extending Higgs sector is one way to introduce such new CP violating phases, and studying observables resulting from the CP violation is important to test the model in future experiments. In these proceedings, we discuss the loop induced $ H^\pm W^\mp Z$ vertices in the CP violating general two Higgs doublet model, summarizing our results. We evaluate impacts of the CP violation on the decays $H^\pm \to W^\pm Z$ through these vertices, and find that the difference between the decays $H^+ \to W^+ Z$ and $H^- \to W^- Z$ is sensitive to the CP violating phases in the model.

Revisiting the model for radiative neutrino masses with dark matter in the $\mathrm{U(1)}_{B-L}$ gauge theory

The radiative seesaw model with gauged $\mathrm{U(1)}_{B-L}\times\mathbb{Z}_2$ extension is a well-motivated scenario which gives consistent predictions of active neutrino masses and the abundance of dark matter. Majorana masses of right-handed neutrinos, the lightest of which can be identified as dark matter, are given by the spontaneous breaking of the $\mathrm{U(1)}_{B-L}$ gauge symmetry. We revisit this model with the latest constraints from dark matter searches, neutrino oscillations, flavor experiments and collider experiments. We explore the feasible parameter space of this model, and find that there are still allowed regions under the latest experimental constraints. We present new viable benchmark scenarios for this model, i.e., the right-handed neutrino dark matter scenario and the scalar dark matter scenario. We also mention the testability of these benchmark scenarios at future experiments.

Loop induced $H^\pm W^\mp Z$ vertices in the general two Higgs doublet model with CP violation

Understanding symmetry of extended Higgs models helps to construct the theory beyond the standard model and gives important insights for testing these models by experiments. The custodial symmetry plays an important role as a leading principle to construct non-minimal Higgs sectors. On the other hand, new sources of CP violation in the Higgs sector are essentially important to explain the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. In the two Higgs doublet model, it has been known that the CP violation and the custodial symmetry are not compatible, and thus the CP violating Higgs potential in general violates the custodial symmetry in the Higgs sector. In this paper, we discuss the loop-induced $H^\pm W^\mp Z$ vertices in the two Higgs doublet model, which are induced due to the custodial symmetry violation of the sector of the particles in the loop, and study how the vertices are affected by the CP violation. We calculate the $H^\pm W^\mp Z$ vertices in the most general two Higgs doublet model with the CP violation at the one-loop level and evaluate the decay modes $H^\pm \to W^\pm Z$ caused by these vertices. We obtain new contributions to the $H^\pm W^\mp Z$ vertices from the CP violating part of the model, in addition to the known contributions from the CP conserving part. Moreover, we find that an asymmetry between the decays $H^+ \to W^+ Z$ and $H^- \to W^- Z$ is caused by the CP violating phases in the model, some of which are important for the electroweak baryogenesis. We also briefly mention testability of these vertices at future collider experiments.

On the criterion of perturbativity with the mass-dependent beta function in extended Higgs models

In order to realize electroweak first order phase transition, a category of extended Higgs models with relatively large self-coupling constants is often considered. In such a scenario, the running coupling constants can blow up at an energy scale much below the Planck scale. To clarify the allowed parameter space of the model, it is important to evaluate the scale where perturbation calculation breaks down. In the renormalization group equation analysis using the mass-independent renormalization scheme, we need the matching condition to connect the low energy theory and the high energy theory. Consequently, the analysis depends on the detail of the matching condition. On the other hand, the analysis with the mass-dependent beta function is performed in a simpler way, because the threshold effect is automatically included in the beta function. Therefore, in this paper, using the mass-dependent beta function at the one-loop level, we discuss the application limit of perturbation calculation. First, in a toy model with two complex scalar fields, we explain the essence of our method and compare our results with those based on the mass-independent beta function. We then apply our method to the more realistic model; i.e., the inert doublet model. We find that in our method, in which the threshold effect is automatically included, the energy scale where the perturbation calculation breaks down can be higher than the one using the mass-independent beta function, especially when the blow up scale is relatively low.

Electroweak baryogenesis via top-charm mixing

We investigate a scenario of electroweak baryogenesis in the two Higgs doublet model with quark flavor mixing. In general, off-diagonal components of quark Yukawa interactions with additional Higgs bosons are strongly constrained by the data for flavor changing neutral currents. However, top-charm quark mixing is not the case, so that a large off-diagonal element can be taken, which can contribute to generating baryon asymmetry of the universe. It turns out that CP violating phases of the off-diagonal element in the source term in the Boltzmann equation are eliminated by the rephasing. This result is somewhat different from previous works on electroweak baryogenesis by flavor off-diagonal Yukawa couplings. Instead, we find that the absolute value of the top-charm off-diagonal element enhances CP violating phases in the Higgs potential, by which sufficient amount of the baryon number can be generated to explain the observed baryon asymmetry of the universe. We find that such a scenario is viable under the current experimental data. The model can be tested by the current and future measurements of various flavor experiments like Kaon rare decays, in addition to high energy collider experiments as well as gravitational wave observations. Characteristic predictions of our model would be deviations in Kaon rare decays. Branching ratios of $K^+ \to π^+ ν\overlineν$ and $K_L \to π^0 ν\overlineν$ can deviate by the order of 10% and 1%, respectively, which may be tested at future Kaon experiments such as NA62 and KOTO step-2.

New benchmark scenarios of electroweak baryogenesis in aligned two Higgs double models

We discuss electroweak baryogenesis in aligned two Higgs doublet models. It is known that in this model the severe constraint from the experimental results for the electron electric dipole moment can be avoided by destructive interference among CP-violating effects in the Higgs sector. In our previous work, we showed that the observed baryon number in the Universe can be explained without contradicting current available data in a specific scenario in the same model. We here first discuss details of the evaluation of baryon number based on the WKB method taking into account all order of the wall velocity. We then investigate parameter spaces which are allowed under the current available data from collider, flavor and electric dipole moment experiments simultaneously. We find several benchmark scenarios which can explain baryon asymmetry of the Universe. We also discuss how we can test these benchmark scenarios at future collider experiments, various flavor experiments and gravitational wave observations.

Electroweak baryogenesis in aligned two Higgs doublet models

We evaluate the baryon number abundance based on the charge transport scenario of top quarks in the CP-violating two Higgs doublet model, in which Yukawa interactions are aligned to avoid dangerous flavor changing neutral currents, and coupling constants of the lightest Higgs boson with the mass $125~\mathrm{GeV}$ coincide with those in the standard model at tree level to satisfy the current LHC data. In this model, the severe constraint from the electric dipole moment of electrons, which are normally difficult to be satisfied, can be avoided by destructive interferences between CP-violating phases in Yukawa interactions and scalar couplings in the Higgs potential. Viable benchmark scenarios are proposed under the current available data and basic theoretical bounds. We find that the observed baryon number can be reproduced in this model, where masses of additional Higgs bosons are typically $300$--$400~\mathrm{GeV}$. Furthermore, it is found that the triple Higgs boson coupling is predicted to be $35$--$55~\%$ larger than the standard model value.

Quantization of Blackjack: Quantum Basic Strategy and Advantage

Quantum computers that process information by harnessing the remarkable power of quantum mechanics are increasingly being put to practical use. In the future, their impact will be felt in numerous fields, including in online casino games. This is one of the reasons why quantum gambling theory has garnered considerable attention. Studies have shown that the quantum gambling theory often yields nontrivial consequences that classical theory cannot interpret. We devised a quantum circuit reproducing classical blackjack and found possible quantum entanglement between strategies. This circuit can be realized in the near future when quantum computers are commonplace. Furthermore, we showed that the player's expectation increases compared to the classical game using quantum basic strategy, which is a quantum version of the popular basic strategy of blackjack.
