Baryon Asymmetry from a Two Stage Electroweak Phase Transition ?
read the original abstract
We investigate an extension of the standard model with a second Higgs doublet, showing a two stage phase transition. Wash-out of a baryon asymmetry after the phase transition can be easily avoided in this class of models. B+L transitions are more strongly suppressed in the intermediate phase than in the high temperature symmetric phase,however. Therefore, it becomes more difficult if not impossible to generate a sufficient baryon asymmetry during the phase transition.

Electro-Weak Phase Transitions and Collider Signals in the Aligned 2-Higgs Doublet Model
The Aligned 2HDM supports strong first-order electroweak phase transitions that yield LISA-detectable gravitational waves together with LHC-accessible signals from additional neutral and charged Higgs states.
