Induced Nucleation in Weak First Order Phase Transition

Abstract

We study induced nucleation by considering the accumulation rate of shrinking subcritical bubbles. We derive the probability for a collection of subcritical bubbles to form a critical bubble, and argue that this mechanism could well play a role in electroweak phase transitions if the Higgs is heavy.
