Conserved Quantities and Electroweak Phase Transitions
Some cosmological consequences of including the adequate conserved quantities in the density matrix of the electroweak theory are investigated. Several arguments against including the charges associated to the spontaneously broken symmetry are presented. Special attention is focused on the phenomenon of W -boson condensation and its interplay with the phase transition for the symmetry restorati...
متن کاملGravitational Waves from Electroweak Phase Transitions
Gravitational waves are generated during first-order phase transitions, either by turbolence or by bubble collisions. If the transition takes place at temperatures of the order of the electroweak scale, the frequency of these gravitational waves is today just within the band of the planned space interferometer LISA. We present a detailed analysis of the production of gravitational waves during ...
متن کاملQuantum phase transitions and conserved charges
The constraints on the scaling properties of conserved charge densities in the vicinity of a zero temperature (T ), second-order quantum phase transition are studied. We introduce a generalized Wilson ratio, characterizing the nonlinear response to an external field, H, coupling to any conserved charge, and argue that it is a completely universal function of H/T : this is illustrated by computa...
متن کاملStepping Into Electroweak Symmetry Breaking: Phase Transitions and Higgs Phenomenology
Abstract We study the dynamics of electroweak symmetry-breaking in an extension of the Standard Model where the Higgs sector is augmented by the addition of a real (Y = 0) isospin triplet. We show that this scenario exhibits a novel, two-step electroweak phase transition, wherein the first step provides the strongly first order transition as required for electroweak baryogenesis followed by a s...
متن کاملHydrodynamic detonation instability in electroweak and QCD phase transitions.
The hydrodynamic stability of deflagration and detonation bubbles for a first order electroweak and QCD phase transition has been discussed recently with the suggestion that detonations are stable. We examine here the case of a detonation more carefully. We find that in front of the bubble wall perturbations do not grow with time, but behind the wall modes exist which grow exponentially. We bri...
