| contents | Right-handed neutrinos $N$ are introduced to explain the origin of the tiny neutrino masses via the seesaw mechanism. Required by relatively large Yukawa coupling and leptogenesis, masses of right-handed neutrinos are beyond $10^{9}$ GeV. Such heavy right-handed neutrino can mediate the production of super heavy dark matter $χ$ via the freeze-in mechanism. In the minimal $Z_2$ symmetric model, the right-hand neutrino portal interaction is $y_N ϕ\barχ N$ with the dark scalar $ϕ$. One drawback of the $Z_2$ symmetric model is that the mass ordering $m_N>m_ϕ$ with long-lived $ϕ$ is almost ruled out by Big Bang Nucleosynthesis. In this paper, we propose that by extending the dark symmetry to $Z_3$, one additional interaction $y_χϕ\barχ^c χ$ is further allowed. In this way, the new decay mode $ϕ\to χχ$ would lead to the dark scalar $ϕ$ being short-lived even with a feeble $y_χ$, thus it is allowed by the cosmological constraints. The phenomenology of the $Z_3$ symmetric super heavy dark matter model is also studied in this paper. |
