  1. QED at Finite Temperature and Constant Magnetic Field:The Standard Model of Electroweak Interaction at Finite Temperature and Strong Magnetic Field Neda Sadooghi Department of Physics Sharif University of Technology Tehran-Iran Prepared for CEP seminar, Tehran, May 2008

  2. Summary of the 1st Lecture: The problem of baryogenesis: • Why is the density of baryons much less than the density of photons? • 9 orders of magnitude difference between observation and theory • Why in the observable part of the universe, the density of baryons is many orders greater than the density of antibaryons? • The density of baryons is 4 orders of magnitude greater than the density of antibaryons

  3. 3 Sakharov conditions for baryogenesis: • Violation of C and CP symmetries • Deviation from thermal equilibrium • Non-conservation of baryonic charge • A number of models describe baryogenesis: • Electroweak baryogenesis • Affleck-Dine scenario of baryogenesis in SUSY • …. • Electroweak baryogenesis in a constant magnetic field

  4. Electroweak (EW) baryogenesis • In EWSM there are processes that violate C and CP • EW phase transition  Out ofequilibrium process • 2nd order phase transition at Tc=225 GeV  One loop approx • 1st order phase transition at Tc=140.42 GeV  One loop + ring contributions • Baryon number non-conservation is related to sphaleron decay

  5. Although the minimal EWSM has all the necessary ingredients for successful baryogenesis • neither the amount of CP violation whithin the minimal SM, • nor the strength of the EW phase transition isenough to generate sizable baryon number • Other methods …  Electroweak baryogenesis in a constant magnetic field

  6. The Relation between Baryogenesis and Magnetogenesis • The sphaleron decay changes the baryon number and produces helical magnetic field • The helicity of the magneticfield is related to the number of baryons produced by the sphaleron decay (Cornwall 1997, Vachaspati 2001)  A small seed field is generated by the EW phase transition • It is then amplified by turbulent fluid motion ( ) • Observation: Background large scale cosmic magnetic field

  7. Strong Magnetic Field; Experiment • Magnetic fields in the compact stars: • Experiment: • In the Little Bang (heavy ion collisions at RHIC) • 0711.0950 [hep-ph] L.D. McLerran et al. • A new effect of charge separation (P and CP violation) in the presence of background magnetic field  Chiral magnetic effect • The estimated magnetic field in the center of Au+Au collisions

  8. EW Baryogenesis in Strong Hypermagnetic Field Series of papers by: • Skalozub & Bordag (1998-2006), Ayala et al. (2004-2008) • Electroweak phase transition in a strong magnetic field • Effective potential in one-loop + ring contributions • Higgs mass Result: • The phase transition is of 1st order for magnetic field • The baryogenesis condition is not satisfied !!!
