Bulk mass effects in gauge-Higgs unification at finite temperature

Year: 2006

Type: article

Abstract: We study the bulk mass effects on the electroweak phase transition at finite temperature in a five-dimensional $SU(3)$ gauge-Higgs unification model on an orbifold. We investigate whether the Higgs mass satisfying the experimental lower bound can be compatible with the strong first order phase transition necessary for a successful electroweak baryogenesis. Our numerical results show that the above statement can be realized by matter with bulk mass yielding a viable Higgs mass. We also find an interesting case where the heavier Higgs gives the stronger first order phase transition.
