The electroweak phase structure and baryon number violation for large Higgs mass

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The classical transitions between topologically distinct vacua in a SU(2)-Higgs model, using a Higgs field of mass approximately 120 GeV, is examined to probe the crossover region between the symmetric and broken phase. For the volumes used, this crossover is approximately 10 GeV wide.
