Flavored quantum Boltzmann equations
We derive from first principles, using nonequilibrium field theory, the quantum Boltzmann equations that describe the dynamics of flavor oscillations, collisions, and a time-dependent mass matrix in the early universe. Working to leading nontrivial order in ratios of relevant time scales, we study in detail a toy model for weak-scale baryogenesis: two scalar species that mix through a slowly va...
متن کاملQuantum Boltzmann Equations and Leptogenesis
The closed time-path formalism is a powerful Green’s function formulation to describe non-equilibrium phenomena in field theory and it leads to a complete nonequilibrium quantum kinetic theory. We make use of this formalism to write down the set of quantum Boltzmann equations relevant for leptogenesis. They manifest memory effects and off-shell corrections. In particular, memory effects lead to...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Electroweak Baryogenesis, Nonequilibrium Field Theory and Quantum Boltzmann Equations
The closed time-path (CTP) formalism is a powerful Green’s function formulation to describe nonequilibrium phenomena in field theory and it leads to a complete nonequilibrium quantum kinetic theory. In this paper we make use of the CTP formalism to write down a set of quantum Boltzmann equations describing the local number density asymmetries of the particles involved in supersymmetric electrow...
متن کاملQuantum Boltzmann equations for electroweak baryogenesis including gauge fields
We review and extend to include the gauge fields our derivation of the semiclassical limit of the collisionless quantum transport equations for the fermions in presence of a CP-violating bubble wall at a first order electroweak phase transition. We show how the (gradient correction modified) Lorenzforce appears both in the Schwinger-Keldysh approach and in the semiclassical WKB-treatment. In th...
متن کاملComparison of Boltzmann Equations with Quantum Dynamics for Scalar Fields
Boltzmann equations are often used to study the thermal evolution of particle reaction networks. Prominent examples are the computation of the baryon asymmetry of the universe and the evolution of the quark-gluon plasma after relativistic heavy ion collisions. However, Boltzmann equations are only a classical approximation of the quantum thermalization process which is described by the so-calle...
