abstract = {First order phase transitions (FOPT) in the early Universe
can be powerful emitters of both relativistic and heavy
particles, upon the collision of ultra-relativistic bubble
shells. If the particles coupling to the bubble wall have
CP-violating interactions, the same collision process can
also create a local lepton or baryon charge. This
CP-violation can originate from different channels, which
have only been partially addressed in the literature. We
present a systematic analysis of the different channels
inducing CP-violation during bubble collisions: 1) the decay
of heavy particles 2) the production of heavy particles and
3) the production of light and relativistic Standard Model
(SM) particles.As an illustration of the impact that such
mechanisms can have on baryon number and dark matter (DM)
abundance, we then introduce a simple model of cogenesis,
separating a positive and a negative lepton number in the SM
and a dark sector. The lepton number asymmetry in the SM can
be used to explain the baryon asymmetry of the Universe
(BAU), while the opposite asymmetry in the dark sector is
responsible for determining the abundance of DM. Moreover,
the masses of light neutrinos can be understood via the
inverse seesaw mechanism, with the lepton-violating Majorana
mass originating from the FOPT.A typical signal produced by
a FOPT is the irreducible gravitational wave (GW)
background. We find that a substantial portion of the
parameter space can be probed at future observatories like
the Einstein Telescope (ET).},
