We perform an analysis of the behaviour of the electroweak phase transition in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, in the presence of light stops. We show that, in previously unexplored regions of parameter space, the order parameter $v(T_c)/T_c$ can become significantly larger than one, for values of the Higgs and supersymmetric particle masses consistent with the present experimental bounds. This implies that baryon number can be efficiently generated at the electroweak phase transition. As a by-product of this study, we present an analysis of the problem of colour breaking minima at zero and finite temperature, and we use it to investigate the region of parameter space preferred by the best fit to the present precision electroweak measurement data, in which the left-handed stops are much heavier than the right-handed ones.

  1. Electroweak Baryogenesis from Collapsing Domain Walls

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Collapsing axion-like domain walls generate the baryon asymmetry by acting as an effective chemical potential through coupling to the electroweak topological term, with the asymmetry produced via sphaleron processes.

  2. Electroweak Baryogenesis: Advances in Sphaleron Rate Calculations and Implications of Thermal Phase Transitions

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    Sphaleron rates can be computed gauge-invariantly in 3D thermal EFT, yielding a new baryon-washout criterion x = lambda3/g3^2 that replaces v_c/T_c > 1 for electroweak baryogenesis.

  3. Constraining the real scalar singlet extension of the SM

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Real scalar singlet extension of SM permits strong first-order EWPT for singlet masses up to ~1 TeV; HL-LHC tests large fraction of space while FCC offers discovery reach.

  4. Detecting gravitational waves from cosmological phase transitions with LISA: an update

    astro-ph.CO 2019-10 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Updated LISA detection prospects for gravitational waves from phase transitions are derived from state-of-the-art sound-wave simulations, with a new web tool PTPlot provided for parameter scans.
