Abstract

We study electroweak baryogenesis driven by the top quark in a general two Higgs doublet model with flavor-changing Yukawa couplings, keeping the Higgs potential CPCP invariant. With Higgs sector couplings and the additional top Yukawa coupling ρtt\rho_{tt} all of O\mathcal{O}(1), one naturally has sizable CPCP violation that fuels the cosmic baryon asymmetry. Even if ρtt\rho_{tt} vanishes, the favor-changing coupling ρtc\rho_{tc} can still lead to successful baryogenesis. Phenomenological consequences such as tcht\to ch, τμγ\tau \to \mu\gamma, electron electric dipole moment, hγγh\to\gamma\gamma, and hhhhhh coupling are discussed.
