Primordial Magnetic Fields from Cosmological First Order Phase Transitions
We give an improved estimate of primordial magnetic elds generated during cosmological rst order phase transitions. We examine the charge distribution at the nucleated bubble wall and its dynamics. We consider instabilities on the bubble walls developing during the phase transition. It is found that damping of these instabilities due to viscosity and heat conductivity caused by particle di usio...
متن کاملPrimordial Magnetic Fields from Out of Equilibrium Cosmological Phase Transitions
The universe cools down monotonically following its expansion. This generates a sequence of phase transitions. If a second order phase transition happens during the radiation dominated era with a charged order parameter, spinodal unstabilities generate large numbers of charged particles. These particles hence produce magnetic fields. We use out of equilibrium field theory methods to study the d...
متن کاملThe Stability of Primordial Magnetic Fields Produced by Phase Transitions
Primordial magnetic fields seem to be a generic relic of phase transitions in the early universe. We consider a primordial electromagnetic field formed as a result of a second-order phase transition, and show that it is stable to thermal fluctuations in the period immediately following. We also show how such a field arises in first order phase transitions. In both cases there is a transitive el...
متن کاملMagnetic fields in the aftermath of phase transitions.
The COSLAB effort has focused on the formation of topological defects during phase transitions. Yet there is another potentially interesting signature of cosmological phase transitions, which also deserves study in the laboratory. This is the generation of magnetic fields during phase transitions. In particular, cosmological phase transitions that also lead to preferential production of matter ...
متن کاملMagnetic monopoles from gauge theory phase transitions
Thermal fluctuations of the gauge field lead to monopole formation at the grand unified phase transition in the early universe, even if the transition is merely a smooth crossover. The dependence of the produced monopole density on various parameters is qualitatively different from theories with global symmetries, and the monopoles have a positive correlation at short distances. The number dens...
