Description
Light stops can give a strong first order electroweak phase transition
in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) satisfying one of
the necessary conditions for electroweak baryogenesis. I discuss the
region of parameter space where this occurs using a perturbative
analysis of the Higgs effective potential. Two-loop QCD corrections
associated with stop loops are crucial to open this baryogenesis window,
which corresponds to 2.25 < tan beta < 3.6, one stop not much
heavier than the top quark, m_A > 120 GeV and a light Higgs boson
with m_h < 85 GeV. This region will be explored by LEP II very soon.
