The study investigates two different scenarios to improve the restrictions on cutoff scale and lower bound by modifying the expansion history in order to satisfy electroweak baryogenesis and the sphaleron bound.
In the first scenario, we revise the upper bound of the cutoff scale of the dimension-six potential Higgs operator required for a successful electroweak baryogenesis in the case of a modified expansion history caused by the existence of a noninteracting scalar field at the time phase transition happens. The upper bound 860GeV of the cutoff scale in the conventional case can be improved to 1TeV in the modified expansion case under certain conditions. In the second scenario, we consider the Randall-Sundrum type II model. We show that the lower bound of the five-dimensional Planck scale in this model, which is determined from the validity of Newtonian gravitational potential at small distance, turns out to be crucial in eliminating this model as a viable candidate to satisfy the sphaleron bound; however, again modifying the expansion history by including a noninteracting scalar field at the electroweak scale can then make this model satisfy the sphaleron bound with a certain parameter space.
