Parallel talks 6: Electroweak Interactions
- Wei Liu (Nanjing University of Science and Technology)
In this study, we present a comprehensive analysis of the electroweak sphaleron formalism and its application to the electroweak phase transition (EWPT). We offer an equivalence proof for various sphaleron configurations and construct the previously unestablished high-dimensional $SU(2)$ sphaleron transformation matrix. Furthermore, we provide an in-depth examination of non-contractible loops...
We made global fits of the inert Higgs doublet model (IDM) in the light of collider and dark matter search limits and the requirement for a strongly first-order electroweak phase transition (EWPT). These show that there are still IDM parameter spaces compatible with the observational constraints considered. In particular, the data and theoretical requirements imposed favour the hypothesis for...
