Electroweak Baryogenesis with Cosmic Strings ?
J. R. Espinosa
I report on a critical analysis of the scenario of electroweak baryogenesis mediated by nonsuperconducting cosmic strings. This mechanism relies upon electroweak symmetry restorati…
Perturbative Analysis of the MSSM Electroweak Phase Transition
J. R. Espinosa
Light stops can give a strong first order electroweak phase transition in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) satisfying one of the necessary conditions for electrowea…
The baryogenesis window in the MSSM
B. de Carlos, J. R. Espinosa
Thermal two-loop QCD corrections associated with light stops have a dramatic effect on the strength of the MSSM electroweak phase transition, making it more strongly first order as…
On the electroweak phase transition in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model
J. R. Espinosa, M. Quiros, F. Zwirner
We study the finite-temperature effective potential of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, in the limit of only one light Higgs boson. Because of the large top Yukawa coupli…
On the nature of the electroweak phase transition
J. R. Espinosa, M. Quiros, F. Zwirner
We discuss the finite-temperature effective potential of the Standard Model, $\veff$, with emphasis on the resummation of the most important infrared contributions. We compute the…
