Critical Bubbles and Fluctuations at the Electroweak Phase Transition

The di(cid:11)erent contributions are plotted in com parison in (cid:12)gure 9. O ne sees that the (cid:12)rst one is sm all and nearly constant. The nucleation rate is determ ined by (cid:0) (cid:22) S and ln( A =T 4 ). The com parison ofthese two values decides on the reliability ofour results. to
