Description
A framework to describe long-distance dynamics of an electroweak phase transition is offered by fluctuating hydrodynamics. In this setup the neutral Higgs component can be modelled to evolve according to a Langevin equation. In this talk we report on recent results for the thermal Higgs interaction rate close to a first order EW phase transition, which appears as a coefficient in a Langevin equation. We also contrast with the friction discussed in connection with bubble growth.
