CP Violation from Surface Terms in the Electroweak Theory without Fermions

چکیده
We consider the effect of adding a CP-odd, θF F̃ -term to the electroweak Lagrangian without fermions. This term affects neither the classical nor perturbatively quantum physics, but can be observed through non-perturbative quantum processes. We give an example of such a process by modifying the theory so that it supports Higgs-winding solitons and showing that the rates of decay of these solitons to specific final states are CP violating. We also discuss how the CP symmetry is restored when fermions are included. CU-TP-879 CWRU-P9-98 hep-ph/yymmddd Typeset in REVTEX ∗[email protected] †[email protected].

Gauge Theory of Chiral
Indirect CP violation is analyzed in the framework of the electroweak gauge theory of J = 0 mesons proposed in [1] in which they transform like composite fermion-antifermion operators by the chiral U (N) L × U (N) R group and by the SU (2) L × U (1) gauge group of the Glashow-Salam-Weinberg model [2]. It is shown that, in this model where, in particular, mass terms are introduced for the mesons...

متن کاملNumerical Simulations of Electroweak Baryogenesis at Preheating
In order to explain the observed baryon asymmetry of the universe, a theory must satisfy three conditions: 1. Baryon number violation, 2. C and CP violation and 3. Deviation from thermal equilibrium. In principle, they all seem to fulfilled in the electroweak theory and the standard cosmological Big Bang scenario. At high temperatures, baryon number is violated by non-perturbative sphaleron pro...

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...
