Abstract
- In the early universe, the first-order phase transition may occur in the background of magnetic fields, leading to baryon number asymmetry through chiral anomaly. We have numerically simulated the first-order electroweak phase transition in the background of a magnetic field in a three-dimensional lattice, discovered the phenomenon of Higgs condensation, and for the first time given the relationship between baryon number asymmetry and magnetic field strength. The magnetic field strength required to achieve the matter-antimatter asymmetry by the evolution of magnetohydrodynamics is about $10^{-17}\sim10^{-14}$ Gauss at present depending on the correlation length of the helical magnetic field. Our research provides a strong basis for explaining the baryon number asymmetry with cosmic magnetic fields.<br />Comment: 7+12 pages, 19 figures, comments welcome!
