The electroweak phase transition with a singlet ∗
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the electroweak phase transition in the minimal extension of the Standard Model: an extra complex singlet with zero vacuum expectation value. The first-order phase transition is strengthened by the cubic term triggered in the one-loop effective potential by the extra boson. Plasma effects are considered to leading order: they shield the cubic terms and weaken the first-order phase transition. We find a region in the parameter space where baryon asymmetry washout is avoided for Higgs masses consistent with present experimental bounds. However in that region the theory becomes non-perturbative for scales higher than 10 10 GeV .

Electroweak Phase Transition and LHC Signatures in the Singlet Majoron Model
We reconsider the strength of the electroweak phase transition in the singlet Majoron extension of the Standard Model, with a low (< ∼ TeV) scale of the singlet VEV. A strongly first order phase transition, of interest for electroweak baryogenesis, is found in sizeable regions of the parameter space, especially when the cross-coupling λhs|S||H| between the singlet and the doublet Higgs is signi...
متن کاملSinglet Higgs Phenomenology and the Electroweak Phase Transition
We study the phenomenology of gauge singlet extensions of the Standard Model scalar sector and their implications for the electroweak phase transition. We determine the conditions on the scalar potential parameters that lead to a strong first order phase transition as needed to produce the observed baryon asymmetry of the universe. We analyze the constraints on the potential parameters derived ...

We study resonant leptogenesis at the electroweak phase transition in the singlet Majoron model with right-handed neutrinos. We consider a scenario, where the SM gauge group and the lepton number break down spontaneously during a second-order electroweak phase transition. We calculate the flavourand temperature-dependent leptonic asymmetries, by including the novel contributions from the transv...

We update the phenomenology of gauge singlet extensions of the Standard Model scalar sector and their implications for the electroweak phase transition. Considering the introduction of one real scalar singlet to the scalar potential, we analyze present constraints on the potential parameters from Higgs coupling measurements at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and electroweak precision observable...
متن کاملSinglets and the Electroweak Phase Transition
Singlet extensions of the Standard Model (SM) allow for a strongly first order electroweak phase transition, because of trilinear terms in the tree-level potential. We present a systematic procedure to study the parameter space of the Next-toMinimal Supersymmetric SM (NMSSM). We find that this model is consistent with electroweak baryogenesis for a wide range of parameters, allowing Higgs masse...
