abstract
We propose a minimal seesaw extension to simultaneously account for realistic neutrino mass and mixing, the baryon asymmetry of the Universe via leptogenesis and a viable dark matter relic density, in which two right-handed neutrinos are coupled to a dark Dirac fermion and complex scalar field, both charged under a global $U(1)_D$ symmetry. As a concrete example, we consider the Littlest Seesaw model which describes neutrino mass and mixing and accounts for leptogenesis, thereby fixing the neutrino Yukawa couplings and right-handed neutrino masses. By considering the freeze-in production mechanism of dark matter, we explore the parameter space of right-handed neutrino portal couplings and dark particle masses which give the correct dark matter relic abundance, focussing on the case of a superheavy Dirac fermion dark matter particle, with a mass around $10^{10}$ GeV. Such a FIMPzilla can provide a successful explanation of the dark matter relic abundance, with its production reliant on neutrino Yukawa couplings over much of the parameter space, depending on the assumed dark particle masses, and the reheat temperature.

Cosmological Histories in Neutrino Portal Dark Matter
A neutrino portal dark sector with mN < mχ < mϕ can be populated by freeze-out, freeze-in, double freeze-in, or by forming a separate cold dark thermal bath, depending on the two portal couplings.

Leptogenesis with Majoron Dark Matter
A seesaw model with spontaneously broken lepton number can simultaneously explain dark matter as a freeze-in Majoron and the baryon asymmetry through resonant leptogenesis, with one set of dimension-five operators con...

Electroweak right-handed neutrino portal dark matter
In neutrino-portal dark matter, ignoring internal dark-sector interactions during freeze-in can underestimate the final relic abundance by 30–95%.

Effective theory of light Dirac neutrino portal dark matter with observable ${\Delta N_{\rm eff}}$
A dark matter candidate interacting only with right-handed neutrinos is shown to produce ΔNeff ≥ 0.21, testable by future CMB experiments.
