Abstract
We present a systematic moment expansion for solving the semiclassical Boltzmann equations for electroweak baryogenesis. The expansion is developed in powers of adiabatic coordinate velocity, and it is used for computing the CP-violating seed asymmetry at the front of the phase transition wall, that sources the eventual baryon asymmetry of the universe (BAU). We implement the method in a benchmark model, with a CP-violating mass arising from a dimension-5 operator coupling the fermion to a singlet scalar field. We find that the higher moment calculations yield a BAU that can significantly differ from the commonly used two-moment approximation. We discuss in detail the underlying approximations in the moment method and propose a new truncation scheme for the expansion, that appears to give more numerically robust results than the previous schemes.
