It is widely believed that electroweak baryogenesis should be suppressed in strong phase transitions with fast-moving bubble walls, but this effect has never been quantitatively studied. We rederive fluid equations describing transport of particle asymmetries near the bubble wall without making the small-wall-velocity approximation. We show that the suppression of the baryon asymmetry is a smooth function of the wall speed and that there is no special behavior when crossing the sound speed barrier. Electroweak baryogenesis can thus be efficient also with strong detonations, generically associated with models with observably large gravitational waves. We also make a systematic and critical comparison of our improved transport equations to another one commonly used in the literature, based on the VEV-insertion formalism.

    A consistent 3D EFT computation of the Higgs phase sphaleron rate yields universal baryon preservation bounds x ≈ 0.025 (strong) and x ≈ 0.036 (weak), and shows two-loop corrections eliminate strong one-step transitio...

    hep-ph 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Hydrodynamic shock heating in a deflagration phase transition enhances the filtered dark matter abundance by factors of 4.3, 5.8, and 32 for benchmark masses of 1.78, 2.30, and 5.03 TeV.

  3. Systematic derivation of the Boltzmann equation for electroweak baryogenesis

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A Kadanoff-Baym derivation yields Boltzmann equations with self-energy-corrected quasiparticle shells, adding a CP-violating velocity and force correction for fermions and none for bosons.

  4. Benchmarking wall velocities in cosmological phase transitions: Fluid Ansatz and WallGo

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The fluid-Ansatz and WallGo methods agree for mild phase transitions but diverge by tens of percent for strong ones, where the semi-classical approximation itself may break down.

  5. Thermal Masses and Bubble-Wall Friction in Cosmological Phase Transitions

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

    hep-ex 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Electroweak-symmetric domain walls produce the observed baryon asymmetry when CP-odd sources and the hierarchy of wall, source, and diffusion lengths suppress face-to-face cancellation.

    hep-ph 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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...

    hep-ph 2025-04 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

  12. Thermalization effects on the dynamics of growing vacuum bubbles

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Bubble-wall terminal velocity depends on plasma thermalization; non-equilibrium and free-streaming regimes give slower or different walls, and stationary solutions can be bypassed by runaways.

    By letting the plasma background temperature and velocity vary with position, the authors remove the singularity that plagued previous fluid Ansatz calculations of bubble wall friction.

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Axionic domain walls coupled to lepton number can generate the baryon asymmetry through spontaneous baryogenesis at collapse, but the associated gravitational wave signal is too faint for planned detectors.
