The electroweak symmetry breaking transition may supply the appropriate out-of-equilibrium conditions for baryogenesis if it is triggered sufficiently fast. This can happen at the end of low-scale inflation, prompting baryogenesis to occur…
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…
The baryon number is violated in the Standard Model by non-perturbative sphaleron transitions. At temperatures above the electroweak scale, the rate of the sphaleron transitions is unsuppressed and has been accurately measured using…
Simply based on CP arguments, we argue against a Standard Model explanation of the baryon asymmetry of the universe in the presence of a first order phase transition. A CP-asymmetry is found in the reflection coefficients of quarks hitting…
We determine analytically the dependence of the approach to thermal equilibrium of strongly coupled plasmas on the breaking of scale invariance. The theories we consider are the holographic duals to Einstein gravity coupled to a scalar with…
In the standard model and most of its extensions the electroweak transition is too weak to affect the cosmological baryon asymmetry. Due to sphaleron processes baryogenesis in the high-temperature, symmetric phase of the standard model is…
We analyze the conventional perturbative treatment of sphaleron-induced baryon number washout relevant for electroweak baryogenesis and show that it is not gauge-independent due to the failure of consistently implementing the Nielsen…
We recently showed that a new gauge boson $\gamma_B$ coupling only to baryon number is phenomenologically allowed, even if $m_B<m_Z$ and $\alpha_B \approx 0.2$. In our previous work we assumed that kinetic mixing between the baryon number…
We show a new mechanism for baryogenesis where the reheating temperature can be smaller than the electroweak scale. The baryon number symmetry is violated by a dimension nine operator which conserves a baryon parity. A high energy quark…
Baryon number fluctuations are sensitive to the QCD phase transition and QCD critical point. According to the Feynman rules of finite-temperature field theory, we calculated various order moments and cumulants of the baryon number…
In many inflationary models, a large amount of energy is transferred rapidly to the long-wavelength matter fields during a period of preheating after inflation. We study how this changes the dynamics of the electroweak phase transition if…
We analyze baryon number, strangeness and electric charge fluctuations as well as their correlations in QCD at high temperature. We present results obtained from lattice calculations performed with an improved staggered fermion action…
We compute for the first time baryon number violation at zero temperature from Higgs bubble collisions and find that it can be of the same order as that from thermal sphalerons in the symmetric phase at electroweak temperatures. We study…
We present a novel scenario for baryogenesis in a hybrid inflation model at the electroweak scale, in which the Standard Model Higgs field triggers the end of inflation. One of the conditions for successful baryogenesis, the departure from…
We present a novel mechanism of electroweak baryogenesis where \textit{CP} violation occurs in a dark sector, comprised of standard model gauge singlets, thereby evading the strong electric dipole moment constraints. In this framework, the…
Electroweak baryogenesis provides a very attractive scenario to explain the origin of the baryon asymmetry. The mechanism of electroweak baryogenesis makes use of the baryon number anomaly and relies on physics that can be tested…
Simply on CP arguments, we argue against a Standard Model explanation of baryogenesis via the charge transport mechanism. A CP-asymmetry is found in the reflection coefficients of quarks hitting the electroweak phase boundary created during…
We measure the sphaleron rate with the physical parameters of the Standard Model. In particular, we plug into the calculations the recently found Higgs mass m_H = 125 GeV. The sphaleron rate tells us about the efficiency of baryon number…
We review recent progress in the study of the anomalous baryon number non-conservation at high temperatures and in high energy collisions. Recent results on high temperature phase transitions are described, and applications to electroweak…
We consider the scattering of quasi-particles off the boundary created during a first order electroweak phase transition. Spatial coherence is lost due to the quasi-quark damping rate, and we show that reflection on the boundary is…
