Abstract
We derive the kinetic equation for fermions and antifermions interacting with a planar Higgs bubble wall during the electroweak phase transition using the `evenisation' procedure. Equations of motion in a relativistic quantum theory do not mirror classical relations unless one uses evenised operators. We give a brief introduction to evenisation and then use the evenised Heisenberg equations of motion to obtain the velocity and force for the particles in the presence of the Higgs bubble wall. Keeping quantum contributions to in the equations of motion we obtain the semi-classical force obtained earlier by other techniques.
