Right handed neutrinos, TeV scale BSM neutral Higgs boson, and FIMP dark matter in an EFT framework

We consider an effective field theory framework with three Standard Model (SM) gauge singlet right-handed neutrinos, and an additional SM gauge singlet scalar field. The framework successfully generates eV masses of light neutrinos via the seesaw mechanism, and accommodates a feebly interacting massive particle (FIMP) as a dark matter candidate. Two of the gauge singlet neutrinos participate in neutrino mass generation, while the third gauge singlet neutrino is a FIMP dark matter. We explore the correlation between the vev (vacuum expectation value) of the gauge singlet scalar field which translates as mass of the BSM Higgs, and the mass of dark matter, which arises due to the relic density constraint. We furthermore explore the constraints from the light neutrino masses in this setup. We chose the gauge singlet BSM Higgs in this framework in the TeV scale. We perform a detailed collider analysis to explore the discovery prospect of the TeV scale BSM Higgs through its difatjet signature, at a future pp collider which can operate with root s = 100 TeV c.m. energy.

Automated summary

The framework successfully generates eV masses of light neutrinos via the seesaw mechanism, and accommodates a feebly interacting massive particle (FIMP) as a dark matter candidate. The correlation between the vev of the gauge singlet scalar field and the mass of dark matter was explored, considering the relic density constraint. Exploration of the constraints from the light neutrino masses in this setup was also conducted.
