Abstract

New sources of CPviolation beyond the Standard Model may help the scenario of electroweak baryogenesis (EWB) to account for the baryon asymmetry of the universe, and may be detectable in searches for permanent electric dipole moments of fundamental particles. In this talk, I focus on the calculation of the sources and relaxation rates in the transport equations for particle densities in the closed time path formalism of quantum field theory, suitable for the finite temperature and out-of-equilbrium conditions present at the electroweak phase transition. Applying the methods of closed time-path quantum field theory to derive transport equations relevant for EWB in the MSSM, we find regions of the parameter space where generation of the baryon asymmetry is resonantly enhanced, allowing successful baryogenesis with CP-violating phases small enough to be consistent with experimental limits on electron and neutron EDMs
