The bubble wall velocity in the minimal supersymmetric light stop scenario

Abstract

We build on existing calculations of the wall velocity of the expanding bubbles of the broken symmetry phase in a first-order electroweak phase transition within the light stop scenario (LSS) of the MSSM. We carry out the analysis using the 2-loop thermal potential for values of the Higgs mass consistent with present experimental bounds. Our approach relies on describing the interaction between the bubble and the hot plasma by a single friction parameter, which we fix by matching to an existing 1-loop computation and extrapolate it to our regime of interest. For a sufficiently strong phase transition (in which washout of the newly-created baryon asymmetry is prevented) we obtain values of the wall velocity, v_w~0.05, far below the speed of sound in the medium, and not very much deviating from the previous 1-loop calculation. We also find that the phase transition is about 10% stronger than suggested by simply evaluating the thermal potential at the critical temperature.
