In non-supersymmetric models of electroweak baryogenesis the top quark plays a crucial role. Its CP-violating source term can be calculated in the WKB approximation. We point out how to resolve certain discrepancies between computations starting from the Dirac equation and the Schwinger--Keldysh formalism. We also improve on the transport equations, keeping the W-scatterings at finite rate. We apply these results to a model with one Higgs doublet, augmented by dimension-6 operators, where our refinements lead to an increase in the baryon asymmetry by a factor of up to about 5.

  1. An Effective Sphaleron Awakens

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    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...

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. DMRadio-Core: A new approach for GUT-scale axion searches

    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.

  5. Top-quark spin correlations as a tool to distinguish pseudoscalar $A \to ZH$ and scalar $H \to ZA$ signatures in $Z t \bar t$ final states at the LHC

    hep-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Angular variables built from lepton directions in fully leptonic ttbar decays can distinguish A to Z H from H to Z A cascades in Z ttbar final states at the HL-LHC, reaching 6.4 to 6.5 sigma for 600/800 GeV 2HDM benchmarks.
