Valley Singularities and Baryon Number Violation

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2014-11-17 v1

Abstract

We consider the valley--method computation of the inclusive cross section of baryon number violating processes in the Standard Model. We show that any physically correct model of the valley action should present a singularity in the saddle point valley parameters as functions of the energy of the process. This singularity prevents the saddle point configuration from collapsing into the perturbative vacuum.
