Electroweak Baryogenesis: A Brief Review

TL;DR

This paper reviews the fundamental concepts of electroweak baryogenesis, discussing necessary physics extensions beyond the Standard Model and how current experiments can test these scenarios.

Contribution

It provides a concise overview of electroweak baryogenesis and highlights the experimental prospects for testing these theories at colliders.

Findings

Electroweak baryogenesis requires physics beyond the Standard Model.

Experimental constraints make these scenarios testable at the LHC.

Potential for testing at existing colliders.

Abstract

A brief review of the fundamental ideas behind electroweak baryogenesis is presented. Since a successful implementation of these ideas requires an extension of the minimal standard model, I comment on the necessary physics and how experimental constraints make these scenarios testable at the LHC, and perhaps at existing colliders.
