We present details for a method to compute the broken phase sphaleron rate (rate of hot baryon number violation below the electroweak phase transition) nonperturbatively, using a combination of multicanonical and real time lattice…
We develop a method to compute the sphaleron rate in the electroweak broken phase nonperturbatively. The rate is somewhat slower than a perturbative estimate. In SU(2) X U(1) Higgs theory at the physical value of Theta_W, and assuming that…
The strong sphaleron rate, i.e., the rate of real time QCD topological transitions, is a key phenomenological quantity, playing a fundamental role in several physical contexts. In heavy-ion collisions, a non-vanishing rate can lead to the…
We measure the diffusion constant for Chern-Simons number for classical, lattice SU(3) Yang-Mills theory, using a generalization of the topological definition of Chern-Simons number developed recently by Moore and Turok. The diffusion…
I begin by answering a different question, ``Do we know the sphaleron rate?'' and conclude that we do. Then I discuss a crude but purely analytic picture which provides an estimate of the sphaleron rate within the context of Bodeker's…
I review what we know about the ``sphaleron rate'', which is the efficiency of baryon number violation at high temperatures of order 100 GeV in the Standard Model. The leading behavior at weak coupling in the symmetric phase is known…
We compute the sphaleron rate of $N_f=2+1$ QCD at the physical point for a range of temperatures $200$ MeV $\lesssim T \lesssim 600$ MeV. We adopt a strategy recently applied in the quenched case, based on the extraction of the rate via a…
Using lattice simulations, we measure the sphaleron rate in the Standard Model as a function of temperature through the electroweak cross-over, for the Higgs masses m_H=115 and m_H=160 GeV. We pay special attention to the shutting off of…
We measure the diffusion rate of Chern-Simons number in the (1+1)-dimensional Abelian Higgs model interacting with a realistic heat bath for temperatures between 1/13 and 1/3 times the sphaleron energy. It is found that the measured rate is…
We study baryon spectroscopy including the effects of pseudoscalar meson exchange and one gluon exchange potentials between quarks, governed by $\alpha_s$. The non-perturbative, hyperspherical method calculations show that one can obtain a…
In many extensions of the Standard Model electroweak phase transitions at high temperatures can be described in a minimal dimensionally reduced effective theory with SU(2) gauge field and fundamental Higgs scalar. In this effective theory,…

We present an analytical method to estimate the condensate fraction $n_0/n$ in strongly correlated systems for which the zero-temperature static structure factor $S({\bf p})$ is known. The advantage of the proposed method is that it allows…
We demonstrate a weak continuous measurement of the pseudo-spin associated with the clock transition in a sample of Cs atoms. Our scheme uses an optical probe tuned near the D1 transition to measure the sample birefringence, which depends…
