Spontaneous annihilation of high-density matter in the electroweak theory
Joerg Schaldach, Peter Sieber, Dmitri Diakonov +1
In the presence of fermionic matter the topologically distinct vacua of the standard model are metastable and can decay by tunneling through the sphaleron barrier. This process ann…
Decay of high-density matter in the electroweak theory
Joerg Schaldach, Peter Sieber, Dmitri Diakonov +1
High-density fermion matter is meta-stable due to the anomalous non-conservation of baryon and lepton numbers in the electroweak theory. The meta-stable state decays by penetrating…
Loop corrections to the sphaleron transition rate in the minimal standard model
Dmitri Diakonov, Maxim Polyakov, Pavel Pobylitsa +3
The baryon number dissipation rate due to sphaleron transitions at high temperatures in the minimal standard model is evaluated. We find that this rate can be considerably suppress…
Fermion sea along the sphaleron barrier
Dmitri Diakonov, Maxim Polyakov, Peter Sieber +2
In this revised version we have improved the treatment of the top and bottom quark mass. This leads to slight changes of the numerical results, especially of those presented in Fig…
