Fast Electroweak Symmetry Breaking and Cold Electroweak Baryogenesis (1005.0752v2)
Published 5 May 2010 in astro-ph.CO and hep-ph
Abstract: We construct a model for delayed electroweak symmetry breaking that takes place in a cold Universe with T<<100 GeV and which proceeds by a fast quench rather than by a conventional, slow, phase transition. This is achieved by coupling the Standard Model Higgs to an additional scalar field. We show that the quench transition can be made fast enough for successful Cold Electroweak Baryogenesis, while leaving known electroweak physics unchanged.
