Revisiting electroweak phase transition in the standard model with a real singlet scalar

Abstract

We revisit the electroweak phase transition in the standard model with a real scalar, utilizing several calculation methods to investigate scheme dependences. We quantify the numerical impacts of Nambu-Goldstone resummation, required in one of the schemes, on the strength of the first-order electroweak phase transition. We also employ a gauge-independent scheme to make a comparison with the standard gauge-dependent results. It is found that the effect of the Nambu-Goldstone resummation is typically $\sim 1\%$. Our analysis shows that both gauge-dependent and -independent methods give qualitatively the same result within theoretical uncertainties. In either methods, the scale uncertainties in the ratio of critical temperature and the corresponding Higgs vacuum expectation value are more than 10%, which signifies the importance of higher-order corrections.
