Abstract

A cosmological first order electroweak phase transition could explain the origin of the cosmic matter-antimatter asymmetry. While it does not occur in the Standard Model, it becomes possible in the presence of a second Higgs doublet. In this context, we obtain the properties of the new scalars H0, A0 and H± leading to such a phase transition, showing that its key LHC signature would be the decay A0 → H0 Z, and we analyze the promising LHC search prospects for this decay in the ℓ ℓ bb and ℓ ℓ W+ W- final states. Finally, we comment on the impact of the A0 → H0 Z decay on current LHC searches for A0 decaying into SM particles.
