abstract

Simply based on CP arguments, we argue against a Standard Model explanation of the baryon asymmetry of the universe in the presence of a first order phase transition. A CP-asymmetry is found in the reflection coefficients of quarks hitting the phase boundary created during the electroweak transition. The problem is analyzed both in an academic zero temperature case and in the realistic finite temperature one. The building blocks are similar in both cases: Kobayashi-Maskawa CP-violation, CP-even phases in the reflection coefficients of quarks, and physical transitions due to fermion self-energies. In both cases an effect is present at order $\alpha_W^2$ in rate. A standard GIM behaviour is found as intuitively expected. In the finite temperature case, a crucial role is played by the damping rate of quasi-particles in a hot plasma, which is a relevant scale together with $M_W$ and the temperature. The effect is many orders of magnitude below what observation requires, and indicates that non standard physics is indeed needed in the cosmological scenario.

Non-Thermal Production of Sexaquark Dark Matter

hep-ph · 2025-12-16 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Non-thermal production via late-decaying reheatons can achieve the observed dark matter density for sexaquarks by controlling branching fractions and coalescence probabilities, unlike thermal freeze-out which underproduces them by many orders of magnitude.

Does the Electron EDM Preclude Electroweak Baryogenesis ?

hep-ph · 2024-04-30 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

First-order gradient CP-violating sources in EWBG quantum transport relax electron EDM bounds and increase viability compared to prior approximations in a model illustration.

Electroweak Baryogenesis from Collapsing Domain Walls

hep-ph · 2026-04-30 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Collapsing axion-like domain walls generate the baryon asymmetry by acting as an effective chemical potential through coupling to the electroweak topological term, with the asymmetry produced via sphaleron processes.

Mesogenesis through the Ephemeral Dark Decay of Beauty

hep-ph · 2026-04-29 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0 · 2 refs

An ultralight scalar temporarily lowers a dark fermion mass via muon thermal density, opening efficient B meson dark decays for baryon asymmetry generation that later shuts off to match flavor data.

Intrinsic Properties of Large CP Violation in the Complex Two-Higgs-Doublet Model

hep-ph · 2025-12-18 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Global scans of complex 2HDM show Type-I models maximize gauge CPV near light-Higgs degeneracy with high eEDM, Type-II suppress gauge CPV but permit large Yukawa CPV and low eEDM via cancellations, plus hidden CPV in the alignment limit via heavy-Higgs mixing angle alpha3.
