We compute the net electric current generated during a first order electroweak phase transition when fermions transit from the false to the true vacuum. This current is generated by the CP-violating fermion interaction with the Higgs during…
An axion can make the electroweak phase transition strongly first-order as required for electroweak baryogenesis even if it is weakly coupled to the Higgs sector. This is essentially because the axion periodicity naturally allows the…
We investigate baryogenesis at a first order electroweak phase transition in the presence of a CP violating condensate on the bubble walls, in the regime in which the bubble walls are `thick', in the sense that fermions interact with the…
In the Standard Model with a fourth generation of quarks, we study the relation between the Jarlskog invariants and the triangle areas in the 4-by-4 CKM matrix. To identify the leading effects that may probe the CP violation in processes…
Spontaneous CP violation during the electroweak phase transition can induce a twisting of the magnetic field configuration of Standard Model dumbbells, resulting in sizable intergalactic magnetic fields and a small baryon asymmetry, in…
We develop a new and general method to calculate the effects of \cp\ violation from extensions of the standard model on the mechanism of electroweak baryogenesis. We illustrate its applicability in the framework of two-higgs doublet models.
CP-violating interaction of quarks and W-bosons with the scalar field background is studied in the Kobayashi-Maskawa with with Standard Model content of flavors and with additional heavy generation of fermions. The corresponding two-loop…
Several pieces of direct and indirect evidence now suggest that the Kobayashi-Maskawa mechanism plays a distinguished role for CP violation at the electroweak scale. This talk provides a general overview of CP violation in its various…
We address the possibility that CP-violation in $B_s-\bar B_s$ mixing may help explain the origin of the cosmic baryon asymmetry. We propose a new baryogenesis mechanism - "Electroweak Beautygenesis" - explicitly showing that these two…
We discuss the generalization of the Jarlskog condition of CP conservation for the case of the Standard Model with 4~quark generations. We express this condition in terms of the 3 Jarlskog invariants of the CKM matrix. Next we present the…
We present a pedagogical review of the phenomenology of CP violation, with emphasis on B decays. Main topics include the phenomenology of neutral meson systems, CP violation in the Standard Model of electroweak interactions, and B decays.…
We derive CP-violating transport equations for fermions for electroweak baryogenesis from the CTP-formalism including thermal corrections at the one-loop level. We consider both the VEV-insertion approximation (VIA) and the semiclassical…
I consider a general two Higgs doublet model with CP violation. I give a perturbative expansion for the mass eigenstates in terms of the small CP violating phase. I use these analytical expressions to show that $\mathcal{O}(10^{-2})$ CP…
We investigate if the CP violation necessary for successful electroweak baryogenesis may be sourced by the neutrino Yukawa couplings. In particular, we consider an electroweak scale Seesaw realisation with sizeable Yukawas where the new…
In a recent paper[1] Kundu and one of the present authors showed that there were transient but observable CP violating effects in the decay of classical currents on the horizon of a black hole, if the Lagrangian of the Maxwell field…
We analyze electroweak baryogenesis in supersymmetric theories with flavor-dependent CP-violating phases. We generalize the standard approach to include the flavor dependence of the CP-violating sources and obtain an analytical approximate…
The origin of the baryon asymmetry of the universe (BAU) is a longstanding problem in the high energy physics. The electroweak baryogenesis mechanism, which generates the BAU during the first order electroweak phase transition, provides a…
We suggest a specific semiclassical background field, the so called pure gauge sphaleron explosion, to evaluate the magnitude of the CP violation stemming from the standard phase of the CKM matrix. We use it to evaluate the matrix elements…
Electroweak baryogenesis can be driven by the top quark in a general two Higgs doublet model with extra Yukawa couplings. Higgs quartics provide the first order phase transition, while extra top Yukawa coupling $\rho_{tt}$ can fuel the…
The CP-violation necessary for the generation of the baryon asymmetry of the Universe in the "flavoured" leptogenesis scenario can arise from the "low energy" PMNS neutrino mixing matrix and/or from the "high energy" part of neutrino Yukawa…
