Boltzmann Collision Term
Steffen Weinstock
We derive the Boltzmann equation for scalar fields using the Schwinger-Keldysh formalism. The focus lies on the derivation of the collision term. We show that the relevant self-ene…
Transport equations for chiral fermions to order \hbar and electroweak baryogenesis: Part II
T. Prokopec, M. G. Schmidt, S. Weinstock
This is the second in a series of two papers. While in Paper I we derive semiclassical Boltzmann transport equations and study their flow terms, here we address the collision terms…
Transport equations for chiral fermions to order \hbar and electroweak baryogenesis: Part I
T. Prokopec, M. G. Schmidt, S. Weinstock
This is the first in a series of two papers. We use the Schwinger-Keldysh formalism to derive semiclassical Boltzmann transport equations for massive chiral fermions and scalar par…
Kinetic approach to electroweak baryogenesis
Tomislav Prokopec, Kimmo Kainulainen, Michael G. Schmidt +1
After a short review of baryogenesis mechanisms, we focus on the charge transport mechanism at the electroweak scale, effective at strong electroweak phase transitions. Starting fr…
Semiclassical force for electroweak baryogenesis: three-dimensional derivation
Kimmo Kainulainen, Tomislav Prokopec, Michael G. Schmidt +1
We derive a semiclassical transport equation for fermions propagating in the presence of a CP-violating planar bubble wall at a first order electroweak phase transition. Starting f…
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…
