Baryogenesis and CP-Violating Domain Walls in the Background of a Magnetic Field

Abstract

Within the domain wall-mediated electroweak baryogenesis, we study fermion scattering off a CP-violating wall in the background of an uniform magnetic field. In particular, we calculate the asymmetry between the reflection coefficients for right-handed and left-handed chiral fermions, ΔR = R_{R \to L} - R_{L \to R}, which is of relevance to non local baryogenesis mechanisms.
