Description
We propose a unified explanation for the origin of dark matter and baryon number asymmetry in a non-supersymmetric model for neutrino masses. Neutrino masses are generated in two distinct ways, that is, a tree-level seesaw mechanism with a single right-handed neutrino and one-loop radiative effects due to a new additional doublet scalar. A spontaneously broken U(l)' brings a Z2 symmetry which restricts couplings of this new scalar and controls the neutrino masses. It also guarantees the stability of a CDM candidate. We examine two possible candidates for the CDM in the model. We also show that the decay of a heavy right-handed neutrino related to the seesaw mechanism can generate baryon number asymmetry in the universe through leptogenesis.
