Title: Supersymmetric electroweak baryogenesis in the WKB approximation
Abstract: We calculate the baryon asymmetry generated at the electroweak phase transition in the minimal supersymmetric standard model, treating the particles in a WKB approximation in the bubble wall background. A set of diffusion equations for the particle species relevant to baryon generation, including source terms arising from the CP violation associated with the complex phase δ of the μ parameter, are derived from Boltzmann equations, and solved. The conclusion is that δ must be ≳0.1 to generate a baryon asymmetry consistent with nucleosynthesis. We compare our results to several other recent computations of the effect, arguing that some are overestimates.
