Classical Field Dynamics of the Electroweak Phase Transition

چکیده
We investigate the thermodynamics and dynamics of the electroweak phase transition by modelling the infrared physics with classical Yang-Mills Higgs theory. We discuss the accuracy of this approach and conclude that, for quantities whose determination is dominated by the infrared, the classical method should be correct up to parametrically suppressed (ie O(α)) corrections. For a Higgs self-coupling which at tree level corresponds to mH ' 50GeV, we determine the jump in the order parameter to be δφ = 1.5gT , the surface tension to be σ = 0.07gT , and the friction coefficient on the moving bubble wall due to infrared bosons to be η ≡ P/vw = 0.03± .004gT . We also investigate the response of Chern-Simons number to a spatially uniform chemical potential and find that it falls off a short distance inside the bubble wall, both in equilibrium and below the equilibrium temperature.

The Electroweak Phase Transition: a Status Report *
The possibility that the observed cosmological baryon density might be a consequence of non-perturbative dynamics at the electroweak phase transition is one of the most exciting topics at the interface of particle physics and cosmology. However, determining the viability of electroweak baryogenesis in (minimal extensions of) the standard model requires knowledge of the equilibrium behavior of t...

متن کاملStudy of the Transition to Instability in Second-Harmonic Generation with Scale Index Method
The emergence of second-harmonic generation (SHG) is a pivotal issue to the development of nano-optical devices and interfaces. Here, we perform a classical analysis of the SHG dynamics with the aim of determining critical values of the electric field. The signals of the SHG process are nonlinear, so it seems reasonable that chaos theory can be a suitable tool to analyze their dynamics. For thi...

In this paper, an analytic treatment of electroweak phase transition is proposed within the two-Higgs doublet model. This phase transition occurs in one stage and is strongly first order. Therefore, it can be applied to the electroweak baryogenesis scenario, whereas the standard model cannot provide this condition considering the experimental data. Also, we study CP violation which is one of th...
متن کاملElectroweak Baryogenesis from a Classical Force.
We describe a new effect which produces baryons at a first order electroweak phase transition. It operates when there is a CP-violating field present on propagating bubble walls. The novel aspect is that it involves a purely classical force, which alters the motion of particles across the wall and through diffusion creates a chiral asymmetry in front of the wall. We develop a technique for comp...
