| contents | Assuming dark matter to be asymmetric as well as self-interacting and neutrinos to be Dirac fermions, we propose a framework to address the observed baryon imbalance of the universe. We add three right-handed neutrinos $ν_{R_i},\,{i=1,2,3}$, one singlet fermion $χ$, a doublet fermion $ψ$, and heavy scalar doublets $η_i,\,{i=1,2}$ to the Standard Model. A global $B-L$ is imposed to protect the Dirac nature of neutrinos. Both $χ$ and $ψ$ are fermions with non-zero charge under an extended $U(1)_{B-L} \times U(1)_D$ symmetry. Additionally, a $\mathcal{Z}_2$ symmetry is imposed, where the singlets $χ$, $ν_R$, and $η$ are negative and the doublet $ψ$ is positive. The CP-violating out-of-equilibrium decay of heavy scalar $η$ generates an equal and opposite $B-L$ asymmetry among the left-handed ($ν_L$) and right-handed ($ν_R$) neutrinos. The $ν_L-ν_R$ equilibration process does not take place until below the Electroweak phase transition scale because of tiny Yukawa couplings. During this time, Sphaleron processes, which are active at temperatures higher than 100 GeV, transform a portion of the $B-L$ asymmetry stored in left-handed neutrinos into baryon asymmetry. MeV scale gauge boson $Z'$ of $U(1)_D$ sector mediates both annihilation of symmetric dark matter component and self-interaction among dark matter particles. Moreover, $Z'$ mixes with the Standard Model Z-boson and provides a portal for dark matter direct detection. |
