Chiral Charge Flux and Electroweak Baryogenesis

Abstract

By treating CP-violating interaction of the electroweak bubble wall as a perturbative term, chiral charge flux through the bubble wall is estimated. It is found that the absolute value of the flux $F_Q$ has a sharp peak at $m_0 \sim a \sim T$ with $F_Q/(u T^3) \sim 10^{-3}\, (Q_L-Q_R)\,Δθ$. Here $m_0$ is the fermion mass, $1/a$ is the wall thickness, $T$ is the temperature at which the bubbles are growing, $u$ is the wall velocity, $Q_{L(R)}$ is the chiral charge of the relevant left(right)-handed fermion and $Δθ$ is the measure of CP violation.
