Electroweak baryogenesis (EWBG) is a theory to predict the BAU which relies entirely on physics at the electroweak scale. EWBG in any theory will therefore be confirmed/ruled out at LHC. I will review the predictions of EWBG in the different theories� at the electroweak scale. I will show that the Standard Model is already ruled out by EWBG. I will then analyze extensions of the Standard Model, in particular the MSSM, and I will present the predictions for EWBG to hold in these theories.
