The Magnetic Field

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.

In this paper, we explore the critical end point in the [Formula: see text] phase diagram of a thermomagnetic nonlocal Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model in the weak field limit. We work with the Gaussian regulator, and find that a crossover takes place at [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]. The crossover turns to a first-order phase transition as the chemical potential or the magnetic field increases. The critical end point of the phase diagram occurs at a higher temperature and lower chemical potential as the magnetic field increases. This result is in accordance to similar findings in other effective models. We also find that there is a critical magnetic field, for which a first-order phase transition takes place even at [Formula: see text].

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.

ABSTRACTWe investigate the pretransitional behavior in laser-induced alignment of rigid rod-like polytetraflouroethylene (PTFE) suspensions. Using a laser-induced birefringence experiment, we measure both the orientational order parameter and the orientational relaxation time. We find that both increase as the volume fraction of colloidal particles approaches the critical value for the isotropic-nematic phase transition. Experimental results are compared with theory which takes into account the possibility of a first-order phase transition induced by a laser electric field.

We use the matching method to investigate the first-order phase transition in holographic superconductor and superfluid. We first use the simple holographic superconductor model to describe the matching method and mention how to see the first-order phase transition. Next, we study the holographic superconductor with Stückelberg term and see that the analytic results indicate the existence of first-order phase transition. Finally, we study the holographic superfluid and show that the first-order phase transition can be found for some values of parameters. We determine the critical value analytically and compare it with the previous numerical result.

The long-range interacting spin-1 chain placed in a staggered magnetic field is studied by means of microcanonical approach. Firstly, we study the microcanonical entropy of the system in the thermodynamic limit and find the system is non-ergodic and can exhibit either first-order phase transition or second-order phase transition by shifting the external magnetic field strength. Secondly, we construct the global phase diagram of the system and find a phase transition area in the phase diagram corresponding to the temperature jump of the first-order phase transition.

Our analysis shows that SM-like electroweak phase transition (EWPT) in the [Formula: see text] (2-2-1) model is a first-order phase transition at the 200 GeV scale (the SM scale). Its strength [Formula: see text] is about 1–2.7 and the masses of new gauge bosons are larger than 1.7 TeV when the second VEV is larger than 535 GeV in a three-stage EWPT scenario and the coupling constant of [Formula: see text] group must be larger than 2. Therefore, this first-order EWPT can be used to fix VEVs and the coupling constant of the gauge group in electroweak models.

First Order Phase

For a cosmological first-order electroweak phase transition, requiring no sphaleron washout of baryon number violating processes leads to a lower bound on the strength of the transition. The velocity of the boundary between the phases, the so-called bubble wall, can become ultrarelativistic if the friction due to the plasma of particles is not sufficient to retard the wall’s acceleration. This bubble “runaway” should not occur if a successful baryon asymmetry generation due to the transition is required. Using Boedeker–Moore criterion for bubble wall runaway, within the context of an extension of the Standard Model of particle physics with a real gauge-single scalar field, we show that a nonrunaway transition requirement puts an upper bound on the strength of the first-order phase transition.
