Electroweak Baryogenesis with Embedded Domain Walls
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider electroweak baryogenesis mediated by embedded domain walls. Embedded domain walls originating from a symmetry breaking phase transition are stabilized by thermal plasma effects, so that the electroweak symmetry is unbroken in their cores. For this reason, the cosmological evolution of such domain walls can generate a sufficiently large baryon asymmetry, irrespective of the order of the electroweak phase transition. For embedded domain walls, the condition that the energy of the universe not be dominated by the energy of the domain walls is relaxed significantly, and it is shown to be compatible with our scenario of electroweak baryogenesis.

Influence of the magnetic field on the fermion scattering off bubble and kink walls
We investigate the scattering of fermions off domain walls at the electroweak phase transition in presence of a magnetic field. We consider both the bubble wall and the kink domain wall. We derive and solve the Dirac equation for fermions with momentum perpendicular to the walls, and compute the transmission and reflection coefficients. In the case of kink domain wall, we briefly discuss the ze...
متن کاملBaryogenesis and CP-Violating Domain Walls in the Background of a Magnetic Field
Within the domain wall-mediated electroweak baryogenesis, we study fermion scattering off a CP -violating wall in the background of an uniform magnetic field. In particular, we calculate the asymmetry between the reflection coefficients for right-handed and left-handed chiral fermions, ∆R = RR→L − RL→R , which is of relevance in non local baryogenesis mechanisms. PACS number(s): 12.15.Ji, 11.30...
متن کاملDynamics of two-Higgs-doublet CP violation and baryogenesis at the electroweak phase transition.
We quantitatively study the charge transport mechanism of electroweak baryogenesis in a realistic two-Higgs-doublet model, comparing the contributions from quarks and leptons reflecting from electroweak domain walls, and comparing the exact profile of the CP-violating phase with a commonly used ansatz. We note that the phenomenon of spontaneous CP violation at high temperature can occur in this...
متن کاملElectroweak baryogenesis and hierarchy
We consider the scenario of electroweak baryogenesis mediated by cosmological defects in a model of extra dimension. We consider the domain wall on the brane in higher-dimensional theories. The electroweak breaking scale is suppressed and the sphaleron interaction is activated in the false vacuum.
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...
