abstract
We investigate baryogenesis at a first order electroweak phase transition in the presence of a CP violating condensate on the bubble walls, in the regime in which the bubble walls are `thick', in the sense that fermions interact with the plasma many times as the bubble wall passes. Such a condensate is present in multi-Higgs extensions of the standard model and may be formed via an instability in the minimal standard model. We concentrate on particles with typical thermal energies in the plasma, whose interactions with the wall are accurately described by the WKB approximation, in which a classical chiral force is evident. The deviations from thermal equilibrium produced by motion of the wall are then treated using a classical Boltzmann equation which we solve in a fluid approximation. From the resulting equations we find two effects important for baryogenesis: (i) a classical chiral force term due to the $CP$ violating background, and (ii) a term arising from hypercharge violating interactions which are pushed out of equilibrium by the background{field. Provided the wall propagates slower than the speed of sound, both terms lead to the diffusion of a chiral asymmetry in front of the wall. This can produce a baryon asymmetry of the observed magnitude for typical wall velocities and thicknesses.

Defect-Mediated Conversion: Dark Matter from Cosmological Domain-Wall Scattering
Domain-wall cores containing a scalar condensate convert bath fermions into dark fermions, producing the observed dark matter relic abundance and dominating the yield over freeze-in by 30 to 100 times.

Systematic derivation of the Boltzmann equation for electroweak baryogenesis
A Kadanoff-Baym derivation yields Boltzmann equations with self-energy-corrected quasiparticle shells, adding a CP-violating velocity and force correction for fermions and none for bosons.

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

The 28 GeV Dimuon Excess in Lepton Specific 2HDM
A lepton-specific two-Higgs-doublet model can accommodate the LHC's 28 GeV dimuon excess through a light CP-odd Higgs boson decaying to muons, though the reported significance is under 2 sigma.

Dark Matter and CP Violation in Some Symmetry-Constrained 3HDMs
S3-symmetric three-Higgs-doublet models allow dark matter in a 29-42 GeV window, exclude heavy candidates above 500 GeV, and admit MeV-scale light scalars, while continuous-symmetry variants produce mass-degenerate da...
