Description
An extension of the minimal supersymmetric standard model called the μνSSM does not allow a conventional thermal leptogenesis scenario because of the low scale seesaw that it utilizes. Hence, we investigate the possibility of electroweak baryogenesis. Specifically, we identify a parameter region for which the electroweak phase transition is sufficiently strongly first order to realize electroweak baryogenesis. In addition to transitions that are similar to those in the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model, we find a novel class of phase transitions in which there is a rotation in the singlet vector space.
