Multisphalerons in the Weinberg-Salam Theory

Abstract

We construct multisphaleron solutions in the Weinberg-Salam theory. The multisphaleron solutions carry Chern-Simons charge $n/2$, where $n$ is an integer, counting the winding of the fields in the azimuthal angle. The well-known sphaleron has $n=1$. The multisphalerons possess axial symmetry and parity reflection symmetry. We vary the Higgs mass and the mixing angle. For small $n$ the energies of the multisphalerons are on the order of $n$ times the energy of the sphaleron and their magnetic dipole moments are on the order of $n$ times the magnetic dipole moment of the sphaleron.
