Standard electroweak baryogenesis in the context of a first order phase
transition is effective in generating the baryon asymmetry of the universe if
the broken phase bubbles expand at subsonic speed, so that CP asymmetric
currents can diffuse in front of the wall. Here we present a new mechanism for
electroweak baryogenesis which operates for supersonic bubble walls. It relies
on the formation of small bubbles of the symmetric phase behind the bubble
wall, in the broken phase, due to the heating of the plasma as the wall passes
by. We apply the mechanism to a model in which the Higgs field is coupled to
several singlets, and find that enough baryon asymmetry is generated for
reasonable values of the parameter space.
