Gravitational waves at aLIGO and vacuum stability with a scalar singlet extension of the Standard Model

Csaba Balazs, Andrew Fowlie, Anupam Mazumdar +1

A new gauge singlet scalar field can undergo a strongly first-order phase transition (PT) leading to gravitational waves (GW) potentially observable at aLIGO and simultaneously sta…

Non-thermal Axion Dark Radiation and Constraints

Anupam Mazumdar, Saleh Qutub, Ken'ichi Saikawa

The Peccei-Quinn mechanism presents a neat solution to the strong CP problem. As a by-product, it provides an ideal dark matter candidate, "the axion", albeit with a tiny mass. Axi…

Modelling Inflation with a Power-law Approach to the Inflationary Plateau

Konstantinos Dimopoulos, Charlotte Owen

A new family of inflationary models is introduced and analysed. The behaviour of the parameters characterising the models suggest preferred values, which generate the most interest…

How Thermal Inflation can save Minimal Hybrid Inflation in Supergravity

Konstantinos Dimopoulos, Charlotte Owen

Minimal hybrid inflation in supergravity has been ruled out by the 2015 Planck observations because the spectral index of the produced curvature perturbation falls outside observat…

The 750 GeV Resonance as Non-Minimally Coupled Inflaton: Unitarity Violation and Why the Resonance is a Real Singlet Scalar

J. McDonald

The 750 GeV resonance observed by ATLAS and CMS may be explained by a gauge singlet scalar. This would provide an ideal candidate for a gauge singlet scalar alternative to Higgs In…

Probing the Scale of New Physics by Advanced LIGO/VIRGO

P. S. Bhupal Dev, A. Mazumdar

We show that if the new physics beyond the Standard Model is associated with a first-order phase transition around GeV, the energy density stored in the resulting stoch…
