We address electroweak baryogenesis in the context of composite Higgs models, pointing out that modifications to the Higgs and top quark sectors can play an important role in generating the baryon asymmetry. Our main observation is that composite Higgs models that include a light, gauge singlet scalar in the spectrum [as in the model based on the symmetry breaking pattern SO(6)/SO(5)], provide all necessary ingredients for viable baryogenesis. In particular, the singlet leads to a strongly first-order electroweak phase transition and introduces new sources of CP violation in dimension-five operators involving the top quark. We discuss the amount of baryon asymmetry produced and the experimental constraints on the model.

  1. Baryon Asymmetry from Electroweak-Symmetric Domain Walls

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Electroweak-symmetric domain walls produce the observed baryon asymmetry via CP-violating semiclassical forces, transport, sphalerons, and interference between the two wall faces in a singlet-extended Standard Model.

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

    astro-ph.CO 2019-10 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    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.

  3. Bounds from D/H on baryogenesis models

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 2.0

    Deuterium-to-hydrogen measurements leave most electroweak baryogenesis parameter space unconstrained while imposing stronger exclusions on alternative baryogenesis models.
