We re-examine the generation of the baryon asymmetry in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) during the electroweak phase transition. We find that the dominant source for baryogenesis arises from the chargino sector. The CP-violation comes from the complex phase in the mu parameter, which provides CP-odd contributions to the particle dispersion relations. This leads to different accelerations for particles and antiparticles in the wall region which, combined with diffusion, leads to the separation of Higgsinos and their antiparticles in the front of the wall. These asymmetries get transported to produce perturbations in the left-handed chiral quarks, which then drive sphaleron interactions to create the baryon asymmetry. We present a complete derivation of the semiclassical WKB formalism, including the chargino dispersion relations and a self-consistent derivation of the diffusion equations starting from semiclassical Boltzmann equations for WKB-excitations. We stress the advantages of treating the transport equations in terms of the manifestly gauge invariant physical energy and kinetic momentum, rather than in the gauge variant canonical variables used in previous treatments. We show that a large enough baryon asymmetry can be created for the phase of the complex mu parameter as small as ~ 0.001, which is consistent with bounds from the neutron electric dipole moment.

  1. Thermal Masses and Bubble-Wall Friction in Cosmological Phase Transitions

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Including thermal masses in both the Boltzmann source and collision terms removes the infrared gauge-boson enhancement, making W-boson friction subleading in the singlet-extended Standard Model.

  2. Tachyonic particle production: quantum 2PI formalism with momentum exchanging collisions

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Presents a self-consistent reduction of non-local next-to-leading-order 2PI equations to local quantum kinetic equations that incorporate momentum exchange during tachyonic instabilities.

  3. DMRadio-Core: A new approach for GUT-scale axion searches

    hep-ex 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Electroweak-symmetric domain walls produce the observed baryon asymmetry when CP-odd sources and the hierarchy of wall, source, and diffusion lengths suppress face-to-face cancellation.

  4. Revisiting the Electron EDM in the NMSSM

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Adding 2HDM-type two-loop diagrams to the NMSSM electron EDM calculation tightens constraints on the CP-violating phase phi4 and changes the allowed parameter space for phi3, phi4, and phi5.

    hep-ph 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    An electroweak baryogenesis model where dark-sector CP violation is transferred to Standard Model leptons through an anomalous U(1)_ℓ Z' background can produce the observed baryon asymmetry while evading current EDM bounds.

    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.

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Delayed first-order electroweak phase transitions can form super-critical primordial black holes, and a timescale ratio t_H/t_V captures the threshold better than the standard density contrast.
