Electroweak baryogenesis (EWBG) remains a theoretically attractive and
experimentally testable scenario for explaining the cosmic baryon asymmetry. We
review recent progress in computations of the baryon asymmetry within this
framework and discuss their phenomenological consequences. We pay particular
attention to methods for analyzing the electroweak phase transition and
calculating CP-violating asymmetries, the development of Standard Model
extensions that may provide the necessary ingredients for EWBG, and searches
for corresponding signatures at the high energy, intensity, and cosmological
frontiers.Comment: 42 pages, 13 figures, invited review for the New Journal of Physics
