Electroweak Bubble Nucleation , Nonperturbatively
We present a lattice method to compute bubble nucleation rates at radiatively induced first order phase transitions, in high temperature, weakly coupled field theories, nonperturbatively. A generalization of Langer’s approach, it makes no recourse to saddle point expansions and includes completely the dynamical prefactor. We test the technique by applying it to the electroweak phase transition ...
متن کاملSurface bubble nucleation stability.
Recent research has revealed several different techniques for nanoscopic gas nucleation on submerged surfaces, with findings seemingly in contradiction with each other. In response to this, we have systematically investigated the occurrence of surface nanobubbles on a hydrophobized silicon substrate for various different liquid temperatures and gas concentrations, which we controlled independen...
متن کاملBubble-Nucleation Rates for Cosmological Phase Transitions
We estimate bubble-nucleation rates for cosmological phase transitions. We concentrate on the evaluation of the pre-exponential factor, for which we give approximate analytical expressions. Our approach relies on the use of a real coarse-grained potential. The consistency of the calculation implies that the coarse-graining scale must be larger than the typical scale of the critical bubble. We s...
متن کاملEffective action for bubble nucleation rates
We develop a method to calculate the prefactor in the expression for the bubble nucleation rate. A fermion with Yukawa coupling is considered where a step potential can be used as a good approximation in the thin wall limit. Corrections due to thicker walls are considered by perturbing about the thin wall case. We derive the thermal one loop effective action, calculating it numerically and find...
متن کاملFluctuation corrections to bubble nucleation.
The fluctuation determinant which determines the preexponential factor of the transition rate for minimal bubbles is computed for the electroweak theory with sinΘW = 0. As the basic action we use the three-dimensional high-temperature action including, besides temperature dependent masses, the TΦ one-loop contribution whcih makes the phase transition first order. The results show that this term...
