Quantum Boltzmann equations for electroweak baryogenesis including gauge fields
Kimmo Kainulainen, Tomislav Prokopec, Michael G. Schmidt +1
We review and extend to include the gauge fields our derivation of the semiclassical limit of the collisionless quantum transport equations for the fermions in presence of a CP-vio…
Some aspects of collisional sources for electroweak baryogenesis
Kimmo Kainulainen, Tomislav Prokopec, Michael G. Schmidt +1
We consider the dynamics of fermions with a spatially varying mass which couple to bosons through a Yukawa interaction term and perform a consistent weak coupling truncation of the…
Erratum for "Supersymmetric Electroweak Baryogenesis"
James M. Cline, Michael Joyce, Kimmo Kainulainen
We correct a numerical error which led to an overestimate of the baryon asymmetry from supersymmetric electroweak baryogenesis in our paper JHEP07(2000)018. Updated dependences of…
Quantum Boltzmann equations for mixing scalar fields
Michael Joyce, Kimmo Kainulainen, Tomislav Prokopec
We report on a work in progress, whose goal is a systematic field theoretical derivation of the quantum transport equations for baryon production in the electroweak plasma at a fir…
Precise Nucleosynthesis Limits on Neutrino Masses
Kimmo Kainulainen
A computation of nucleosynthesis bounds on the masses of long-lived Dirac and Majorana neutrinos is reviewed. In particular an explicit treatment of the ``differential heating'' of…
