Electroweak baryogenesis (EWBG) remains a theoretically attractive and experimentally testable scenario for explaining the cosmic baryon asymmetry. We review recent progress in computations of the baryon asymmetry within this framework and discuss their phenomenological consequences. We pay particular attention to methods for analyzing the electroweak phase transition and calculating CP-violating asymmetries, the development of Standard Model extensions that may provide the necessary ingredients for EWBG, and searches for corresponding signatures at the high energy, intensity and cosmological frontiers.

• Baryogenesis from the weak scale to the grand unification scale (2020, background): “The temperature-dependent prefactor A is due to fluctuations around the saddle point and can be computed perturbatively (Morrissey and Ramsey-Musolf, 2012).”
• Electric dipole moments of atoms, molecules, nuclei, and particles (2017, background): “EDMs provide a particularly important connection to baryogenesis if the CP-violation energy scale is not too high compared to the scale of electroweak symmetry-breaking, and if the responsible P-odd/T-odd interactions are flavor diagonal (Morrissey and Ramsey-Musolf, 2012).”
