Abstract

A TeV-scale Higgs doublet can acquire a tiny vacuum expectation value via its small mixing with the standard model Higgs doublet. Ones then can realize a testable Dirac neutrino mass generation through the sizable Yukawa couplings among this new Higgs doublet, several right-handed neutrinos and the standard model lepton doublets. We show the small mixing between the two Higgs doublets can come from certain interactions for generating the cosmic baryon asymmetry.
