Df. Hou et Jr. Li, SELF-CONSISTENT INVESTIGATION OF ELECTROWEAK TRANSITION AT HIGH-TEMPERATURE, High energy physics & nuclear physics, 18(4), 1994, pp. 367-374
The effective potential of the standard model with neutral current is
calculated consistently to (lambda(3/2), g(3), g'(3)) Order at high te
mperature by the resummation of the hard thermal loops in the tadpole
diagrams. The difficulties in the naive calculation are overcome. It i
s proved that the electroweak transition is of the first order and the
critical temperature is obtained.
