Two Stage Phase Transition in Two Higgs Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a mechanism in which models with two Higgs fields can undergo a two stage phase transition as the temperature falls. The first stage is a conventional second order (or weakly first order) transition in which the symmetry is broken. Shortly thereafter follows a first order transition with barrier penetration, bubble production and loss of thermal equilibrium. For Higgs potentials with CP violation, we show that the second stage of the transition has all the features required for weak scale baryogenesis.

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 کاملElectric charge breaking in two stage phase transitions of models with two Higgs doublets
We discuss the features of a two Higgs doublet model exhibiting a two stage phase transition in the presence of soft terms in the scalar potential. Such terms are necessary in order to explain the observed baryon asymmetry ∆B in the Universe. At finite temperatures electric charge violating stationary points are developed. In conjunction with CP violation in the Higgs or the Yukawa sector, the ...

We study the MSSM finite temperature electroweak phase transition with lattice Monte Carlo simulations, for a large Higgs mass (m H ≈ 95 GeV) and light stop masses (m ˜ t R ∼ 150. .. 160 GeV). We employ a 3d effective field theory approach, where the degrees of freedom appearing in the action are the SU(2) and SU(3) gauge fields, the weakly interacting Higgs doublet, and the strongly interactin...
متن کاملCharge asymmetry in two-Higgs doublet models
We discuss the features of a two-Higgs doublet model exhibiting a two stage phase transition. At finite temperatures electric charge violating stationary points are developed. In conjunction with CP violation in the Higgs or the Yukawa sector, the phase transition to the charge conserving vacuum, generates a net charge asymmetry ∆Q, in the presence of heavy leptons, which may be well above the ...

We explore the possibility that QCD may undergo a phase transition as a function of the strange quark mass. This would hint towards models with " spontaneous color symmetry breaking " in the vacuum. For two light quark flavors we classify possible colored quark-antiquark, diquark and gluon condensates that are compatible with a spectrum of integer charged states and conserved isospin and baryon...
