MSSM electroweak baryogenesis and flavour mixing in transport equations

We make use of the formalism of [T Konstandin, et al., hep-ph/0410135], and calculate the chargino-mediated baryogenesis in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. The formalism makes use of a gradient expansion of the Kadanoff-Baym equations for mixing fermions. For illustrative purposes, we first discuss the semiclassical transport equations for mixing bosons in a space-time-dependent Higgs background. To calculate the baryon asymmetry, we solve a standard set of diffusion equations, according to which the chargino asymmetry is transported to the top sector, where it biases sphaleron transitions. At the end we make a qualitative and quantitative comparison of our results with the existing work. We find that the production of the baryon asymmetry of the universe by CP-violating currents in the chargino sector is strongly constrained by measurements of electric dipole moments.
