Electroweak Sphalerons with Spin and Charge

arXiv:0810.1142 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2009.06.045

Abstract

We show that, at finite weak mixing angle the sphaleron solution of Weinberg-Salam theory can be endowed with angular momentum proportional to the electric charge. Carrying baryon number 1/2 these sphalerons with spin and charge may contribute to baryon number violating processes.
