0 Electroweak preheating on a lattice
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 inflation ends at the electroweak scale. We simulate a classical SU(2)×U(1)+Higgs model with initial conditions in which the energy is concentrated in the lon...
متن کاملProblems with lattice methods for electroweak preheating
Recently Garcia Bellido et. al. have proposed that electroweak baryogenesis may occur at the end of inflation, in a scenario where the reheat temperature is too low for electroweak symmetry restoration. I show why the scenario is difficult to test reliably by classical field techniques on the lattice.
متن کاملElectroweak Baryogenesis from Preheating
The origin of the matter-antimatter asymmetry remains one of the most fundamental problems of cosmology. In this talk I present a novel scenario for baryogenesis at the electroweak scale, without the need for a first order phase transition. It is based on the out of equilibrium resonant production of long wavelength Higgs and gauge configurations, at the end of a period of inflation, which indu...
متن کاملBaryon asymmetry from electroweak tachyonic preheating
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 parameter induces tachyonic preheating. We study the development of Chern-Simons number in this transition by numerical lattice simulations of the SU(2)-Higgs model ...
متن کاملResonant Amplification of Electroweak Baryogenesis at Preheating
We explore viable scenarios for parametric resonant amplification of electroweak (EW) gauge fields and Chern-Simons number during preheating, leading to baryogenesis at the electroweak (EW) scale. In this class of scenarios time-dependent classical EW gauge fields, essentially spatially-homogeneous on the horizon scales, carry ChernSimons number which can be amplified by parametric resonance up...
