The broken-symmetry electroweak vacuum is destabilized in the presence of a magnetic field stronger than a critical value. Such magnetic field may be generated in the phase transition and restore the symmetry inside the bubbles. A numerical calculation indicates that the first-order phase transition is delayed but may be completed for a sufficient low value of the Higgs mass unless the magnetic field is extremely high.

We discuss the strength of the first order thermal phase transition of the SU(2) Higgs model appearing in a lattice study. Based on block-spinning, an order parameter for Higgs condensation is proposed.

Electroweak phase transition in a magnetic field is investigated within the one-loop and ring diagram contributions to the effective potential in the minimal Standard Model. All fundamental fermions and bosons are included with their actual values of masses and the Higgs boson mass is considered in the range 75 GeV ≤ mH ≤ 115 GeV . The effective potential is real at sufficiently high temperature. The important role of fermions and W-bosons in symmetry behavior is observed. It is found that the phase transition for the field strengths 1023-1024 G is of first order but the baryogenesis condition is not satisfied. The comparison with the hypermagnetic field case is done.

Abstract We study electroweak baryogenesis in the SO(6)/SO(5) composite Higgs model with the third generation quarks being embedded in the 20′ representation of SO(6). The scalar sector contains one Higgs doublet and one real singlet, and their potential is given by the Coleman-Weinberg potential evaluated from the form factors of the lightest vector and fermion resonances. We show that the resonance masses at $$ \mathcal{O}\left(1\sim 10\kern0.5em \mathrm{TeV}\right) $$ O 1 ∼ 10 TeV can generate a potential that triggers the strong first-order electroweak phase transition (SFOEWPT). The CP violating phase arising from the dimension-6 operator in the top sector is sufficient to yield the observed baryon asymmetry of the universe. The SFOEWPT parameter space is detectable at the future space-based detectors.

Abstract In this paper we present a novel mechanism for producing the observed Dark Matter (DM) relic abundance during the First Order Phase Transition (FOPT) in the early universe. We show that the bubble expansion with ultra-relativistic velocities can lead to the abundance of DM particles with masses much larger than the scale of the transition. We study this non-thermal production mechanism in the context of a generic phase transition and the electroweak phase transition. The application of the mechanism to the Higgs portal DM as well as the signal in the Stochastic Gravitational Background are discussed.
