Abstract

We present an entirely analytic, leading log order determination of the friction an electroweak bubble wall feels during a first order electroweak phase transition. The friction is dominated by W bosons, and gives a wall velocity parametrically ∼ αw, and numerically small, ∼ .01 ÷ 0.1 depending on the Higgs mass.
