"Electroweak Baryogenesis: Searching for New Scalars and New CPV"

ABSTRACT:

Explaining the abundance of the baryonic matter of the universe remains one of the most compelling problems at the interface of nuclear physics with particle physics and cosmology. If the cosmic baryon asymmetry was generated during the era of electroweak symmetry-breaking, then new searches for permanent electric dipole moments and for new particles at the Large Hadron Collider may reveal the necessary ingredients. In this talk, I discuss our recent theoretical work on electroweak baryogenesis and the corresponding implications for LHC and EDM experiments.
