The electroweak phase transition: a collider target [PDF]
Determining the thermal history of electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) is an important challenge for particle physics and cosmology. Lattice simulations indicate that EWSB in the Standard Model (SM) occurs through a crossover transition, while the ...

Electric current induced by an external magnetic field in the presence of electroweak matter [PDF]
We study the generation of an electric current, along the external magnetic field, of fermions, interacting by parity violating electroweak forces with background matter.

An extension of the gauge group SU(2){sub L} x U(1){sub Y} of the standard model to the symmetry group SU(4){sub L} x U(1){sub X} (3-4-1 for short) is presented. The model does not contain exotic electric charges and anomaly cancellation is achieved with

Phenomenology of a Deconstructed Electroweak Force [PDF]
We study an effective theory of flavour in which the SU(2)L interaction is ‘flavour-deconstructed’ near the TeV scale. This arises, for example, in UV models that unify all three generations of left-handed fermions via an Sp(6)L symmetry.

The full electroweak interaction: an autonomous account [PDF]
The precise renormalizable interactions in the bosonic sector of electroweak theory are intrinsically determined in the autonomous approach to perturbation theory.

Origin of life: β-sheet amyloid conformers as the primordial functional polymers on the early Earth and their role in the emergence of complex dynamic networks. [PDF]
The amyloid world hypothesis of the origin‐of‐life posits that the first functional polymers on the early Earth were structurally stable cross‐β‐sheet‐based peptide amyloids capable of Darwinian‐like evolution. Peptide amyloids display self‐replication and information transfer, as well as catalytic, adaptive, and evolutive properties.

Implementing asymmetric dark matter and dark electroweak baryogenesis in a mirror two-Higgs-doublet model [PDF]
Models of asymmetric dark matter (ADM) seek to explain the apparent coincidence between the present-day mass densities of visible and dark matter, ΩDM ' 5ΩVM.

The Curious Concept That Almost Nobody Seemed to Care About at First: Virtual Particles in the Post-War Period. [PDF]
Abstract Short‐lived, unobservable, and not subject to the usual rules of conservation of energy and momentum, virtual particles—an integral part of the conceptual framework of quantum field theory (QFT)—exhibit a number of curious characteristics which, in recent decades, have in part fueled important discussions about their ontological status ...

Electroweak oblique parameters as a probe of the trilinear Higgs boson self-interaction [PDF]
We calculate the two-loop contributions from a modified trilinear Higgs self-interaction, κλλSMvh3, to the electroweak oblique parameters S and T. Using the current bounds on S and T from electroweak measurements, we find the 95% C.L.

Towards an all-orders calculation of the electroweak bubble wall velocity [PDF]
We analyze Higgs condensate bubble expansion during a first-order electroweak phase transition in the early Universe. The interaction of particles with the bubble wall can be accompanied by the emission of multiple soft gauge bosons.
