Electroweak Phase Transition in Left-Right Symmetric Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the finite-temperature effective potential of minimal left-right symmetric models containing a bidoublet and two triplets in the scalar sector. We perform a numerical analysis of the parameter space compatible with the requirement that baryon asymmetry is not washed out by sphaleron processes after the electroweak phase transition. We find that the spectrum of scalar particles for these acceptable cases is consistent with present experimental bounds.

Low Energy Leptogenesis in Left-Right Symmetric Models
We propose a new mechanism for baryogenesis. We study the effective potential of left-right extension of the standard model and show that there can be a first order phase transition at the left-right symmetry breaking and hence (B−L) symmetry breaking scale, which is around TeV in our scenario. As a result, although (B−L) violating interactions are in equilibrium at this scale, enough (B−L) asy...
متن کاملBaryogenesis via lepton-number-violating scalar interactions.
We study baryogenesis through lepton number violation in left-right symmetric models. In these models the lepton number and CP violating interactions of the triplet higgs scalars can give rise to lepton number asymmetry through non-equilibrium decays of the SU(2)L triplet higgs and the right handed neutrinos. This in turn generates baryon asymmetry during the electroweak anomalous processes. Co...
متن کاملBaryon and lepton number assignment in E6 models.
In E6 models there are new particles whose baryon number is not uniquely assigned. We point out that the baryon and lepton number assignment to these particles can change the baryogenesis scenario significantly. We consider left-right symmetric extension of the standard model in which (B − L) quantum number is gauged. The identification of (B − L) with a generator of E6 is used to define the ba...
متن کاملCreating Matter at the Electroweak Phase Transition
Although feasible explanations for the observed preponderance of matter over antimatter have long existed, it is only since the idea of creating it at the electroweak phase transition (EWPT) that we have the hope of testing such theories in the laboratory. Since the EWPT occurred when the universe was at a temperature near 100 GeV, any new physics it might need for producing the baryon asymmetr...
متن کاملA comment on baryogenesis at the electroweak scale in alternative cosmologies
In this study we examine post-inflationary cosmologies dominated by a scalar field with the equation of state pφ = wφρφ (0 ≤ wφ ≤ 1) in order to facilitate baryogenesis at the electroweak scale. We take a more conventional approach from one in Ref. [1] and assume that the Universe reheats by the scalar field decay before the nucleosynthesis epoch, and find a larger expansion rate at the electro...
