Electroweak phase transition confronted with dark matter detection constraints

Abstract

We study the type-II first-order electroweak phase transition and dark matter (DM) phenomenology in both real and complex singlet extensions of SM. In the real singlet extension with a ${\mathbb{Z}}_2$ symmetry, we show that the parameter regions favored by the phase transition suffer from strong constraints from DM direct detection so that only a negligible fraction ($f_X\sim 10^{-4}-10^{-5}$) of DM composed of the real singlet scalar can survive the LUX and XENON1T constraints. In the complex singlet $S$ case, we impose a $CP$ symmetry $S\to S^{\ast }$ to the scalar potential. The real component of $S$ can mix with SM Higgs boson while the imaginary component becomes a DM candidate due to the protection of the $CP$ symmetry. By taking into account the current experimental constraints of invisible Higgs decays, Higgs signal strength measurements, and dark matter detections, we find that there exists a large parameter space for the type-II electroweak phase transition to occur while explaining all of the dark matter relic density. We identify a subset of parameter space that is promising for future experiments, including the di-Higgs and Higgs signal strength measurements at the HL-LHC and the dark matter direct detection in the XENONnT project.
