abstract
Models with singlet fields coupling to the Higgs can enable a strongly first order electroweak phase transition, of interest for baryogenesis and gravity waves. We improve on previous attempts to self-consistently solve for the bubble wall properties -- wall speed $v_w$ and shape -- in a highly predictive class of models with $Z_2$-symmetric singlet potentials. A new algorithm is implemented to determine $v_w$ and the wall profiles throughout the singlet parameter space in the case of subsonic walls, focusing on models with strong enough phase transitions to satisfy the sphaleron washout constraint for electroweak baryogenesis. We find speeds as low as $v_w \cong 0.1$ in our scan over parameter space, and the singlet must be relatively light to have a subsonic wall, $m_s \lesssim 135$ GeV.

Bubble wall dynamics from nonequilibrium quantum field theory
The conventional kinetic equation of motion for bubble walls is incomplete, missing a condensate self-energy term that produces additional friction from particle production, mixing, and transition radiation.

Thermal Masses and Bubble-Wall Friction in Cosmological Phase Transitions
Including thermal masses in both the Boltzmann source and collision terms removes the infrared gauge-boson enhancement, making W-boson friction subleading in the singlet-extended Standard Model.

Dark Sector Electroweak Baryogenesis In Light Of The Galactic Center Excess
A dark-sector electroweak baryogenesis model with a ~50 GeV fermionic dark matter candidate can simultaneously match the baryon asymmetry, the dark matter relic density, and (at ~2 sigma) the galactic center gamma-ray...

Electroweak Phase Transition and Bubble Wall Velocity in Local Thermal Equilibrium
Bubble wall velocities in local thermal equilibrium are computed for three BSM models and found to be nearly universal when expressed via the critical temperature and supercooling, with only deflagration solutions.
