Measuring the Broken Phase Sphaleron Rate Nonperturbatively
read the original abstract
We present details for a method to compute the broken phase sphaleron rate (rate of hot baryon number violation below the electroweak phase transition) nonperturbatively, using a combination of multicanonical and real time lattice techniques. The calculation includes the ``dynamical prefactor,'' which accounts for prompt recrossings of the sphaleron barrier. The prefactor depends on the hard thermal loops, getting smaller with increasing Debye mass; but for realistic Debye masses the effect is not large. The baryon number erasure rate in the broken phase is slower than a perturbative estimate by about exp(-3.6). Assuming the electroweak phase transition has enough latent heat to reheat the universe to the equilibrium temperature, baryon number is preserved after the phase transition if the ratio of (``dimensionally reduced'' thermal) scalar to gauge couplings (lambda / g^2) is less than .037.

Dynamics of nucleation in thermal phase transitions
The thermal nucleation rate is the transition-state estimate multiplied by one minus the re-crossing probability, and oscillons make that correction large.

Revisiting the sphaleron and axion production rates in QCD at high temperatures
Lattice effective-theory simulations give new SU(2)/SU(3) sphaleron rates for T = 0.6 GeV-10^15 GeV and show the soft magnetic sector contributes roughly half the thermal axion production rate at the electroweak scale...
