Transport equations for chiral fermions to order \hbar and electroweak baryogenesis: Part II

This is the second in a series of two papers. While in Paper I we derive semiclassical Boltzmann transport equations and study their flow terms, here we address the collision terms. We use a model Lagrangean, in which fermions couple to scalars through Yukawa interactions and approximate the self-energies by the one-loop expressions. This approximation already contains important aspects of thermalization and scatterings required for quantitative studies of transport in plasmas. We compute the CP-violating contributions to both the scalar and the fermionic collision term.
