Recently Tye and Wong (TW) have pointed out that the periodic nature of the EW potential is important and this effect was not taken into account in the previous calculations. They evaluated the sphaleron rate by constructing a 1D quantum mechanical system [1505.03690].

Q = µ/mW nπ = µ − sin(2µ)/2

where Q is related to the winding number n as
˜ Φ = v (1 h(r)) U cos µ ! + h(r) v ! , Ai = i g(1 f(r))U∂iU†, U = cos µ + i sin µ cos θ sin µ sin θeiϕ sin µ sin θeiϕ cos µ i sin µ cos θ ! lim

f(r) r = h(0) = 0, f(1) = h(1) = 1,
By following a sphaleron trajectory in the original YM Lagrangian, they found:

For E ≪ ESph, TW found the band width is exponentially small compared to the gap, corresponding to the small tunnelling rate found in the previous calculations. For E > ESph, the wave functions are approximately plane waves with their momentum larger than the potential barrier, implying the exponential suppression disappears!
