Description
I describe the electroweak vacuum angle (the SU(2) analog of the QCD vacuum angle), and discuss conditions under which it becomes a physical parameter. I explain how its CP-violating effect enters into low and high energy observables, and I highlight its potentially important role in baryogenesis.
Talk based on arXiv:1402.6340 and ongoing work.
