Critical behavior in the electroweak phase transition

Critical behavior in the electroweak phase transition

We examine the behavior of the standard-model electroweak phase transition in the early Universe. We argue that close to the critical temperature it is possible to estimate the {\it effective} infrared corrections to the 1-loop potential using well known $\varepsilon$-expansion results from the theory of critical phenomena in 3 spatial …
