K. Rummukainen (Helsinki) SM equation of state 1 / 25 The “Bump”
The “bump” has ceased to be (. . . or is it just resting?) the Standard Model rules (still)
K. Rummukainen (Helsinki) SM equation of state 2 / 25 Phase transitions in the Standard Model
No phase transitions in the Standard Model (at µ = 0)
I QCD and EW “phase transitions” are cross-overs Many BSM models have a first order EW phase transition 7→
I EW baryogenesis (Kainulainen)
I Gravitational waves (Weir)
K. Rummukainen (Helsinki) SM equation of state 3 / 25 In this talk:
Precision results of EW:
I Pseudocritical temperature
I Equation of state - “softness”, width of the cross-over
I Sphaleron rate Why study these?
I it’s the Standard.
I Background to cosmological applications, e.g. leptogenesis
I Precision properties of physics

Tool for perturbative and lattice computations Modes p > g 2T are perturbative (at weak coupling): can be integrated out in stages:
1. p>∼T : fermions, non-zero Matsubara frequencies → 3d theory (dimensional reduction)
1/ T
2. Electric modes p ∼ gT 2 Obtain a “magnetic theory” for modes p<∼g T . Fully contains the non-perturbative thermal physics.

h(∆N (t))2i Γ = lim CS V ,t→∞ Vt

K. Rummukainen (Helsinki) SM equation of state 20 / 25 Calculation of the sphaleron rate
Non-perturbative ⇒ real-time lattice simulations Several methods: Classical EOM [Ambjorn, Krasnitz 95; + many]
I UV modes (HTL) make result lattice spacing depednent [Arnold 97] Classical + HTL effective theories [Moore, Hu, Muller 97; Bodeker, Moore, K.R 99]
I More control over UV modes, no continuum limit
I Used also in studies of plasma instabilities in HIC B¨odeker method: [B¨odeker 98], heat bath version [Moore 98] 2 I Fully dissipative evolution of soft (g T ) modes X Exact to leading log order log(1/g 2), ∃ continuum limit, very simple to use I Same “action” and cont. limit as in 3D thermo simulation ∃ lot of lattice results in pure gauge, few in broken EW phase.

Deep in the broken phase the barrier between vacua is large: ⇒ Rate becomes very small
I Too small to be measured with std. method
I But still physically relevant! Rate can me measured with multicanonical methods, which enables to overcome potential barriers in simulations For broken phase sphaleron rate, methood developed by [Moore 99]
