Constrained Instanton and Baryon Number Non–Conservation at High Energies
نویسنده
چکیده
The total cross section for baryon number violating processes at high energies is usually parametrized as σtotal ∝ exp( α F (ε)), where ε = √ s/E0, E0 = √ 6πmw/α. In the present paper the third nontrivial term of the expansion F (ε) = −1 + 9 8 ε − 9 16 ε − 9 32 ( mh mw )2 ε log (

Electroweak Baryon Number Non-conservation in the Early Universe and in High Energy Collisions
We review recent progress in the study of the anomalous baryon number nonconservation at high temperatures and in high energy collisions. Recent results on high temperature phase transitions are described, and applications to electroweak baryogenesis are considered. The current status of the problem of electroweak instanton-like processes at high energies is outlined. This paper is written on t...
متن کاملθ–instantons in SU(2) Higgs theory
We consider topology changing processes in SU(2)–Higgs theory. In the Standard Model of particle physics they are accompanied by baryon– and lepton–number non–conservation. At fixed energy and multiplicity of initial state, these processes are described by classical θ–instanton solutions. We describe these solutions and calculate the suppression exponents for the probabilities of the topology c...
متن کاملNon-conservation of Global Charges in the Brane Universe and Baryogenesis
We argue that global charges, such as baryon or lepton number, are not conserved in theories with the Standard Model fields localized on the brane which propagates in higherdimensional space-time. The global-charge non-conservation is due to quantum fluctuations of the brane surface. These fluctuations create “baby branes” that can capture some global charges and carry them away into the bulk o...
متن کاملOn Constrained-Instanton Valleys
We develop a systematic treatment for the quasi-zero modes, which play an important role in nonabelian gauge theories. It can be used to derive the analytic forms for the constrained instantons in the Yang-Mills-Higgs theory. This will automatically sum up contributions to all orders in ρ, the instanton size. We also give the analytic expressions for the instanton-antiinstanton pair, with an ar...
متن کاملNew Electroweak Instanton and Possible Breakdown of Unitarity
Potential implications of a new constrained instanton solution in the electroweak standard model are discussed. Notably, there may be a non-perturbative unitarity violating contribution to the total cross-section at high collision energies.
