Gravitational waves from cosmic strings in Froggatt-Nielsen flavour models
Simone Blasi, Lorenzo Calibbi, Alberto Mariotti +1
Gravitational waves (GW) are a powerful probe of the earliest moments in the Universe, enabling us to test fundamental interactions at energy scales beyond the reach of laboratory…
The hydrodynamics of inverse phase transitions
Giulio Barni, Simone Blasi, Miguel Vanvlasselaer
First order phase transitions are violent phenomena that occur when the state of the universe evolves abruptly from one vacuum to another. A \emph{direct} phase transition connects…
QCD Axion Strings or Seeds?
Simone Blasi, Alberto Mariotti
We study the impact of QCD axion strings in the cosmological history of electroweak (EW) symmetry breaking, focussing on the minimal KSVZ axion model. We consider the case of the p…
Criterion for ultra-fast bubble walls: the impact of hydrodynamic obstruction
Wen-Yuan Ai, Xander Nagels, Miguel Vanvlasselaer
The Bödeker-Moore thermal friction is usually used to determine whether or not a bubble wall can run away. However, the friction on the wall is not necessarily a monotonous functio…
