Remark on the QCD-electroweak phase transition in a supercooled Universe
Dietrich Bodeker
In extensions of the Standard Model with no dimensionful parameters the electroweak phase transition can be delayed to temperatures of order 100 MeV. Then the chiral phase transiti…
Lepton Flavour Asymmetries and the Mass Spectrum of Primordial Black Holes
Dietrich Bodeker, Florian Kuhnel, Isabel M. Oldengott +1
We study the influence of lepton flavour asymmetries on the formation and the mass spectrum of primordial black holes. We estimate the detectability of their mergers with LIGO/Virg…
Equilibration of right-handed electrons
Dietrich Bodeker, Dennis Schroder
We study the equilibration of right-handed electrons in the symmetric phase of the Standard Model. Due to the smallness of the electron Yukawa coupling, it happens relatively late…
Non-relativistic leptogenesis
Dietrich Bodeker, Mirco Wormann
In many phenomenologically interesting models of thermal leptogenesis the heavy neutrinos are non-relativistic when they decay and produce the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. We…
Thermal production of relativistic Majorana neutrinos: Strong enhancement by multiple soft scattering
Alexey Anisimov, Denis Besak, Dietrich Bodeker
The production rate of heavy Majorana neutrinos is relevant for models of thermal leptogenesis in the early Universe. In the high temperature limit the production can proceed via t…
Can electroweak bubble walls run away?
Dietrich Bodeker, Guy D. Moore
In extensions of the Standard Model with SU(2) singlet scalar fields, there can be regions of parameter space for which the electroweak phase transition is first order already at t…
