Electroweak Sphalerons with Spin and Charge

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2010-04-15 v1

Abstract

We show that, at finite weak mixing angle the sphaleron solution of Weinberg-Salam theory can be endowed with angular momentum proportional to the electric charge. Carrying baryon number 1/2 these sphalerons with spin and charge may contribute to baryon number violating processes.
