Singlet-assisted electroweak phase transition at two loops

Abstract

We investigate the electroweak phase transition in the real-singlet extension of the Standard Model at two-loop level, building upon existing one-loop studies. We calculate the effective potential in the high-temperature approximation and detail the required resummations at two-loop order. In typical strong-transition scenarios, we find deviations of order $20\%-50\%$ from one-loop results in transition strength and critical temperature for both one- and two-step phase transitions. For extremely strong transitions, the discrepancy with one-loop predictions is even larger, presumably due to sizable scalar couplings in the tree-level potential. Along the way, we obtain a dimensionally-reduced effective theory applicable for non-perturbative lattice studies of the model.
