Gravitational Waves from Walking Technicolor

Abstract

We study gravitational waves from the first-order electroweak phase transition in the $SU(N_c)$ gauge theory with $N_f/N_c\gg 1$ ("large $N_f$ QCD") as a candidate for the walking technicolor, which is modeled by the $U(N_f)\times U(N_f)$ linear sigma model with classical scale symmetry (without mass term), particularly for $N_f=8$ ("one-family model"). This model exhibits spontaneous breaking of the scale symmetry as well as the $U(N_f)\times U(N_f)$ radiatively through the Coleman-Weinberg mechanism $\grave{a}$ la Gildener-Weinberg, thus giving rise to a light pseudo dilaton (techni-dilaton) to be identified with the 125 GeV Higgs. This model possess a strong first-order electroweak phase transition due to the resultant Coleman-Weinberg type potential. We estimate the bubble nucleation that exhibits an ultra supercooling and then the signal for a stochastic gravitational wave produced via the strong first-order electroweak phase transition. We show that the amplitude can be reached to the expected sensitivities of the LISA.
