The original calculation of `spontaneous' baryogenesis overlooked the role played by transport of particles onto the bubbles wall. For typical `adiabatic' wall thicknesses and velocities one can model the problem in a fluid approximation…

Effects of electroweak phase transition (EWPT) in balance between baryon excess and the excess of stable quarks of new generation is studied. With the conservation of SU(2) symmetry and other quantum numbers, it makes possible sphaleron…
We review the production of the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the early Universe, that is baryogenesis, in out-of-equlibrium conditions induced by decays of heavy particles or by the presence of phase boundaries. The most prominent…
We numerically examine the effect of thermal fluctuations on a first-order phase transition in 2+1 dimensions. By focusing on the expansion of a single bubble we are able to calculate changes in the bubble wall's velocity as well as changes…
This thesis explores two different avenues aimed at improving our ability to calculate reliably in the Standard Model of particle physics and probing possible new particles which may exist beyond it. In the first part, we explore whether…
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…

The status of electroweak baryogenesis in the minimal supersymmetric standard model is reviewed. I discuss the strength of the phase transition, CP violation and transport at the bubble walls, and the possibility of a two stage transition…
We consider a scenario in which the baryon asymmetry was created in the early universe during a cold electroweak transition. The spinodal instability of the Higgs field caused by a rapid change of sign of its effective mass-squared…
If stable electroweak strings are copiously produced during the electroweak phase transition, they may contribute significantly to the presently observed baryon to entropy ratio of the universe. This analysis establishes the feasibility of…
A precise determination of the bubble wall velocity $v_w$ is crucial for making accurate predictions of the baryon asymmetry and gravitational wave (GW) signals in models of electroweak baryogenesis (EWBG). Working in the local thermal…
We consider a real scalar singlet field which provides a strong first-order electroweak phase transition via its coupling to the Higgs boson, and gives a $CP$ violating contribution on the top quark mass via a dimension-6 operator. We study…

SUSY models with a gauge singlet easily allow for a strong first order electroweak phase transition (EWPT) if the vevs of the singlet and Higgs fields are of comparable size. We discuss the profile of the stationary expanding bubble wall…
