Sphaleron transition rate at high temperature in the 1+1 D abelian Higgs model

  • 1. Amsterdam Univ. (Netherlands). Inst. voor Theoretische Fysica

Description

New results for the rate are presented using the canonical ensemble in the classical approximation on a spatial lattice. We find that the rate at high temperatures is proportional to T2, and strongly dependent on the lattice spacing a. We conclude that a better effective action is needed for the classical approximation. ((orig.))
