Electroweak baryogenesis is a simple and attractive candidate mechanism for generating the observed baryon asymmetry in the Universe. Its viability is sometimes investigated in terms of an effective field theory of the Standard Model involving higher dimension operators. We investigate the validity of such an effective field theory approach to the problem of identifying electroweak phase transitions strong enough for electroweak baryogenesis to be successful. We identify and discuss some pitfalls of this approach due to the modest hierarchy between mass scales of heavy degrees or freedom and the Higgs, and the possibility of dimensionful couplings violating the decoupling between light and heavy degrees of freedom.

  1. Hot news on the phase structure of the SMEFT

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A full O(g^4) dimensional reduction of the dimension-six SMEFT shows that the top-Higgs operator O_tphi can trigger a first-order electroweak phase transition with zero (phi-dagger phi)^3 coupling at zero temperature.

  2. RGE effects on new physics searches via gravitational waves

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Future GW experiments retain sensitivity to several SMEFT operators despite renormalization scale uncertainties, provided the leading (H†H)^3 operator is measured by colliders.

  3. The Discriminant Power of Bubble Wall Velocities: Gravitational Waves and Electroweak Baryogenesis

    hep-ph 2025-04 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Using entropy conservation in local thermal equilibrium, the authors compute bubble wall velocities in singlet-extended models and find a near-universal relation between phase transition strength measures, with conseq...

  4. Electroweak Baryogenesis: Advances in Sphaleron Rate Calculations and Implications of Thermal Phase Transitions

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Sphaleron rates can be computed gauge-invariantly in 3D thermal EFT, yielding a new baryon-washout criterion x = lambda3/g3^2 that replaces v_c/T_c > 1 for electroweak baryogenesis.

  5. Electroweak phase transition in SMEFT: Gravitational wave and collider complementarity

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Strong first-order electroweak phase transitions in dimension-6 SMEFT can be probed by future gravitational wave detectors and by di-Higgs production at the HL/HE-LHC, with correlated sensitivity regions.

  6. Gravitational waves from a first-order phase transition of the inflaton

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A single non-minimally coupled dark Higgs can drive both inflation and a first-order phase transition whose gravitational waves fall within the reach of planned experiments.

  7. Detecting gravitational waves from cosmological phase transitions with LISA: an update

    astro-ph.CO 2019-10 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Updated LISA detection prospects for gravitational waves from phase transitions are derived from state-of-the-art sound-wave simulations, with a new web tool PTPlot provided for parameter scans.
