abstract

In the context of electroweak strings, the baryon number anomaly equation may be reinterpreted as a conservation law for baryon number minus helicity. Since the helicity is a sum of the link and twist numbers, linked or twisted loops of electroweak string carry baryon number. We evaluate the change in the baryon number obtained by delinking loops of electroweak $Z-$string and show that twisted electroweak string segments may be regarded as extended sphalerons. We also suggest an alternative scenario for electroweak baryogenesis.

  1. Impact of Primordial Magnetic Fields on the First-Order Electroweak Phase Transition

    hep-ph 2025-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A primordial hypermagnetic field slows the first-order electroweak transition, forms Higgs vortices above g'B/m_W^2 ~ 3.63, and helical fields boost sphaleron rates and baryon asymmetry.
