Quantum Corrections to the Electroweak Sphaleron Transition
Abstract
We have performed a new exact evaluation of the fluctuation determinant of the electroweak sphaleron with W =0. The results differ significantly from a previous calculation of this quantity by Carson et. al. . We find that is of order 1 in units (gv)6 while the previous results indicated a strong suppression of the sphaleron transition by this factor.
