A bstract In a recent paper, Tye and Wong (TW) have argued that sphaleron-induced
transitions in high-energy proton-proton collisions should be enhanced compared to
previous calculations, based on a construction of a Bloch wave function in the periodic
sphaleron potential and the corresponding pass band structure. Here we convolute the
calculations of TW with parton distribution functions and simulations of final states to explore
the signatures of sphaleron transitions at the LHC and possible future colliders. We calculate …

In view of new possibilities becoming more realistic with FCC design and of recent
promising results regarding $(B+ L) $-violating processes detection we concentrated our
research on generation and analysis of sphaleron transitions. The existence of instanton
and sphaleron solutions which are associated with transitions between different vacuum
states is well known since 1980s. However first calculations of instanton rate killed any hope
to detect them even at very high energies while the calculation of sphaleron transitions rate …
