We study the prospect of probing electroweak baryogenesis driven by an extra bottom Yukawa coupling $rho_{bb}$ in a general two Higgs doublet model via electric dipole moment (EDM) measurements and at the collider experiments. The parameter space receives meaningful constraints from 125 GeV Higgs $h$ boson signal strength measurements as well as several heavy Higgs boson searches at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In addition, we show that the asymmetry of the CP asymmetry of inclusive $Bto X_s gamma$ decay would provide complementary probe. A discovery is possible at the LHC via $bgto bA to b Z h$ process if $|rho_{bb}|sim 0.15$ and $250~mbox{GeV}lesssim m_A lesssim 350$ GeV, where $A$ is CP odd scalar. For $m_A> 2 m_t$ threshold, where $m_t$ is the top quark mass, one may also discover $bgto bA to b t bar t$ at the high luminosity LHC run if an extra top Yukawa coupling $|rho_{tt}|sim0.5$, though it may suffer from systematic uncertainties. For completeness we study $ggto t bar t A to t bar t b bar b $ but find it not promising.
We study the complementarity between the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and future lepton colliders in probing electroweak baryogenesis induced by an additional bottom Yukawa coupling $rho_{bb}$. The context is general two Higgs doublet model (g2HDM) where such additional bottom Yukawa coupling can account for the observed baryon asymmetry of the Universe if $mbox{Im}(rho_{bb}) gtrsim 0.058$. We find that LHC would probe the nominal $mbox{Im}(rho_{bb})$ required for baryogenesis to some extent via $bg to bA to bZh$ process if $300~mbox{GeV}lesssim m_A lesssim 450$ GeV, where $A$ is the CP-odd scalar in g2HDM. We show that future electron positron collider such as International Linear Collider with $500$ GeV and 1 TeV collision energies may offer unique probe for the nominal $mbox{Im}(rho_{bb})$ via $e^+ e^- to Z^*to A H$ process followed by $A,H to b bar b$ decays in four $b$-jets signature. For complementarity we also study the resonant diHiggs productions, which may give an insight into strong first-order electroweak phase transition, via $e^+ e^- to Z^*to A H to A h h$ process in six $b$-jets signature. We find that 1 TeV collision energy with $mathcal{O}(1)~text{ab}^{-1}$ integrated luminosity could offer an ideal environment for the discovery.
We analyze the quantum transport equations for supersymmetric electroweak baryogenesis including previously neglected bottom and tau Yukawa interactions and show that they imply the presence of a previously unrecognized dependence of the cosmic baryon asymmetry on the spectrum of third generation quark and lepton superpartners. For fixed values of the CP-violating phases in the supersymmetric theory, the baryon asymmetry can vary in both magnitude and sign as a result of the squark and slepton mass dependence. For light, right-handed top and bottom quark superpartners, the baryon number creation can be driven primarily by interactions involving third generation leptons and their superpartners.
We study electroweak baryogenesis driven by the top quark in two Higgs doublet model that allows flavor-changing neutral Higgs couplings. Taking Higgs sector couplings and the additional top Yukawa coupling $rho_{tt}$ to be $mathcal{O}$(1), one naturally has first order electroweak phase transition and sufficient $CP$ violation to fuel the cosmic baryon asymmetry. Even if $rho_{tt}$ vanishes, the favor-changing coupling $rho_{tc}$ can still achieve baryogenesis. Phenomenological consequences such as $tto ch$, $tau to mugamma$, electron electric dipole moment, $htogammagamma$, and $hhh$ coupling are discussed. The extra scalars $H^0$, $A^0$ and $H^pm$ are sub-TeV in mass, and can be searched for at the LHC.
If one removes any emph{ad hoc} symmetry assumptions, the general two Higgs doublet model should have additional Yukawa interactions independent from fermion mass generation, in general involving flavor changing neutral Higgs couplings. These extra couplings can affect the discovered Higgs boson $h$ through fermion loop contributions. We calculate the renormalized $hZZ$ coupling at one-loop level %by on-shell and minimal subtraction scheme, and evaluate the dependence on heavy Higgs boson mass and extra Yukawa coupling $rho_{tt}$. Precision measurements at future colliders can explore the parameter space, and can give stronger bound on $rho_{tt}$ than the current bound from flavor experiments. As a side result, we find that if $rho_{tt}cosgamma < 0$, where $cosgamma$ is the exotic Higgs component of $h$, the $rho_{tt}$-induced top loop contribution cancels against bosonic loop contributions, and one may have alignment without decoupling, namely $sin(-gamma) simeq 1$, but exotic scalar bosons could have masses at several hundred GeV.
The link between a modified Higgs self-coupling and the strong first-order phase transition necessary for baryogenesis is well explored for polynomial extensions of the Higgs potential. We broaden this argument beyond leading polynomial expansions of the Higgs potential to higher polynomial terms and to non-polynomial Higgs potentials. For our quantitative analysis we resort to the functional renormalization group, which allows us to evolve the full Higgs potential to higher scales and finite temperature. In all cases we find that a strong first-order phase transition manifests itself in an enhancement of the Higgs self-coupling by at least 50%, implying that such modified Higgs potentials should be accessible at the LHC.
