High Energy Theory Lunchtime Seminar
in 435 Physics
Speaker: Michael Ramsey-Musolf, University of Wisconsin
Subject: Baryogenesis, Electric Dipole Moments, and the Higgs Boson
Explaining the predominance of visible matter over antimatter
remains one of the outstanding puzzles at the interface of cosmology with particle and nuclear physics. Although the Standard Model cannot account for the matter-antimatter asymmetry, new physics at the electroweak scale may provide the solution. In this talk, I discuss the general requirements for successful electroweak scale baryogenesis; recent theoretical work in computations of the matter-antimatter asymmetry; and implications for experimental searches for permanent electric dipole moments of the electron and neutron and for the Higgs
boson at future colliders.
