Magnetic Fields From the Electroweak Phase Transition

Year: 1998

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: I review some of the mechanisms through which primordial magnetic fields may be created in the electroweak phase transition. I show that no magnetic fields are produced initially from two-bubble collisions in a first-order transition. The initial field produced in a three-bubble collision is computed. The evolution of fields at later times is discussed.
