Fermion Scattering off CP-Violating Electroweak Bubble Wall

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2010-11-01 v2

Abstract

A general prescription to solve the Dirac equation in the presence of CP-violating electroweak bubble wall is presented. The profile of the bubble wall is not specified except that the wall height is m0m_0 and zero deep in the broken- and the symmetric-phase regions, respectively, where m0m_0 is a fermion mass given by the Higgs-vacuum-expectation value and the Yukawa coupling. The CP-violating effects are evaluated by regarding CP-violating part of the bubble wall as a perturbation to CP-conserving solutions. The basic quantity, RRLRˉRLR_{R\rightarrow L}-\bar R_{R\rightarrow L}, which would contribute to the cosmological baryon asymmetry, is estimated for some typical profiles of the wall, where RRLR_{R\rightarrow L}(RˉRL\bar R_{R\rightarrow L}) is the reflection coefficient of right-handed chiral fermion (anti-fermion).
