Abstract

We reanalyze the issue of generation of the baryon asymmetry at the electroweak phase transition in the MSSM and compute the baryon asymmetry assuming the presence of non-trivial CP-violating phases in the parameters associated with the left-right stop mixing term and the Higgsino mass μ\mu. Making use of the closed time-path (CTP) formalism of nonequilibrium field theory, we write down a set of quantum Boltzmann equations describing the local number density asymmetries of the particles involved in supersymmetric electroweak baryogenesis. CP-violating sources manifest ``memory'' effects which are typical of the quantum transport theory and are not present in the classical approach. Compared to previous estimates, these non-Markovian features enhance the final baryon asymmetry by at least two orders of magnitude. This means that a CP-violating phase sinϕμ|\sin \phi_{\mu}| as small as 10310^{-3} (or even smaller) is enough to generate the observed baryon asymmetry.
