Spontaneous Magnetogenesis at the Electroweak Phase Transition
Valerie Domcke, Yohei Ema, Teerthal Patel
Spontaneous CP violation during the electroweak phase transition can induce a twisting of the magnetic field configuration of Standard Model dumbbells, resulting in sizable interga…
Annihilation of electroweak dumbbells
Teerthal Patel, Tanmay Vachaspati
We study the annihilation of electroweak dumbbells and the dependence of their dynamics on initial dumbbell length and twist. Untwisted dumbbells decay rapidly while maximally twis…
Structure of electroweak dumbbells
Teerthal Patel, Tanmay Vachaspati
We analyze the magnetic field of electroweak dumbbells. While the magnetic field of the untwisted dumbbell is given by the usual dipole formula and falls of as , dumbbells w…
Kibble mechanism for electroweak magnetic monopoles and magnetic fields
Teerthal Patel, Tanmay Vachaspati
The vacuum manifold of the standard electroweak model is a three-sphere when one considers homogeneous Higgs field configurations. For inhomogeneous configurations we argue that th…
