Electroweak burning

edit

I was tempted to link "electroweak burning" to "sphaleron" but the arxriv paper mentions only instantons. For now I'm setting it to redirect to "chiral anomaly".--173.34.113.168 (talk) 07:55, 29 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Non-Standard Model

edit

I think the violation of the baryon and lepton quantum numbers means that this is not part of the Standard Model and thus hypothetical, can someone confirm this for me? Yodo9000 (talk) 21:11, 6 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

No. Violation of the baryon and lepton quantum numbers IS part of the Standard Model. That is exactly what sphaleron does. It is an instanton process which is suppressed at low temperatures but becomes basically unsuppressed above the electroweak symmetry breaking temperature. 68.133.16.109 (talk) 12:19, 22 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Merge proposal

edit

I think we should merge this article into Exotic star.

This article is based on a single 2010 paper with (less than) 7 citations and no secondary references. The two paragraphs of content in Exotic_star#Electroweak_stars match the amount of attention this one paper is due. A redirect with history from here will guide readers to the topic. Exotic star gives the topic context. Johnjbarton (talk) 18:41, 23 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
