Abstract

The total decay rates and branching ratios which we derived from the Lagrangian of the supersymmetric Abelian Higgs model in the previous chapter are important ingredients to the study of the reheating process after the \(B{-}L \ \)phase transition. Reheating is a perturbative process, which we will investigate by means of semiclassical Boltzmann equations in the next chapter. For now, we shall focus on the nonperturbative dynamics of the \(B{-}L \ \)phase transition.
