We quantitatively study the charge transport mechanism of electroweak baryogenesis in a realistic two-Higgs-doublet model, comparing the contributions from quarks and leptons reflecting from electroweak domain walls, and comparing the exact…
CP non-invariance is strongly limited by present experiments, while extra sources of CP-violation are needed for a successful baryogenesis. Motivated by those observations we consider a model which predicts spontaneous violation of CP at…
We reveal a new source of CP-violation in the electroweak sector that is free of any experimental bounds, and we highlight the possible implications for baryogenesis.
One of the Sakharov's condition for baryogenesis is the violation of both C and CP. In the Standard Model, gauge interactions break maximally C, but CP is only broken through the Yukawa couplings in the poorly understood scalar sector. In…
After a short review of electroweak scale baryogenesis, we consider the dynamics of chiral fermions coupled to a complex scalar field through the standard Yukawa interaction term at a strongly first order electroweak phase transition. By…
I review a computation of the baryon asymmetry arising from a first order electroweak phase transition in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard model by classical force mechanism (CFM). I focus on CP violation provided by the charginos and…
CP violation in the standard model originates from the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa mixing matrix. Upon integrating all fermions out of the theory, its effects are captured by a series of effective nonrenormalizable operators for the bosonic…
Electroweak baryogenesis (EWBG) constitutes a theoretically compelling and experimentally testable mechanism for explaining the origin of the baryon asymmetry of the universe (BAU). New results for the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the…
Recent highlights in CP violation phenomena are reviewed. B-factory results imply that CP-violation phase in the CKM matrix is the dominant contributor to the observed CP violation in K and B-physics. Deviations from the predictions of the…
This is the first in a series of two papers. We use the Schwinger-Keldysh formalism to derive semiclassical Boltzmann transport equations for massive chiral fermions and scalar particles. Our considerations include complex mass terms and…
In the quark sector, Jarlskog rephasing invariant parameter $J_{CP}$ has important implications for the CP violation as well as phase structure of the quark mass matrices. In fact all CP violating effects in this sector are proportional to…
The cosmological evolution of standard model Yukawa couplings may have major implications for baryogenesis. In particular, as highlighted recently, the CKM matrix alone could be the source of CP-violation during electroweak baryogenesis…
Although CP violation was discovered more than thirty years ago, its origin is still unknown. In these lectures, we describe the CP-violating effects which have been seen in K decays, and explain how CP violation can be caused by the…
In this manuscript, a way solves the FCNC problem in 2HDM radically and leads to CP violation explicitly is demonstrated. The derivation starts from a most general $3 \times 3$ mass matrix $M$ containing eighteen parameters, which applies…
We explore CP violating aspects in the Higgs sector of models where new vectorlike quarks carry Yukawa couplings mainly to the third generation quarks of the Standard Model. We point out that in the simplest model, Higgs CP violating…
We calculate direct CP-violating rate asymmetries in charged $B\to PP$ and $B\to VP$ decays arising from the interference of amplitudes with different strong and CKM phases. The perturbative strong phases develop at order $\alpha_s$ from…
We study electric dipole moment bounds on CP-violating phases in the MSSM with special emphasis on the cancelation scenario. We find that in the range favored by electroweak baryogenesis ({\it i.e.,} $|\mu|\simeq M_1$ or $|\mu|\simeq M_2$),…
We discuss a novel form of CP violation in the standard model. It takes place at temperatures of the order of the electroweak transition, when two regions with different values of the Wilson line are juxtaposed. This CP violation is…
It is known that the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) $n\times n$ matrix can be represented by a real matrix iff there is no CP-violation, and then the Jarlskog invariants vanish. We investigate sufficient conditions for the opposite…
Electroweak baryogenesis (EWBG) remains a theoretically attractive and experimentally testable scenario for explaining the cosmic baryon asymmetry. We review recent progress in computations of the baryon asymmetry within this framework and…
