On bubble collisions in strongly supercooled phase transitions
Marek Lewicki, Ville Vaskonen
We study strongly supercooled cosmological phase transitions. We perform numerical lattice simulations of two-bubble collisions and demonstrate that, depending on the scalar potent…
AION: An Atom Interferometer Observatory and Network
L. Badurina, E. Bentine, D. Blas +38
We outline the experimental concept and key scientific capabilities of AION (Atom Interferometer Observatory and Network), a proposed UK-based experimental programme using cold str…
Lower bound on the primordial black hole merger rate
Ville Vaskonen, Hardi Veermäe
We derive a lower bound on the merger rate of primordial black hole (PBH) binaries by estimating the maximal fraction of binaries that were perturbed between formation in the early…
AEDGE: Atomic Experiment for Dark Matter and Gravity Exploration in Space
Yousef Abou El-Neaj, Cristiano Alpigiani, Sana Amairi-Pyka +129
We propose in this White Paper a concept for a space experiment using cold atoms to search for ultra-light dark matter, and to detect gravitational waves in the frequency range bet…
Intergalactic Magnetic Fields from First-Order Phase Transitions
John Ellis, Malcolm Fairbairn, Marek Lewicki +2
We study the generation of intergalactic magnetic fields in two models for first-order phase transitions in the early Universe that have been studied previously in connection with…
On the validity of perturbative studies of the electroweak phase transition in the Two Higgs Doublet model
Kimmo Kainulainen, Venus Keus, Lauri Niemi +3
Making use of a dimensionally-reduced effective theory at high temperature, we perform a nonperturbative study of the electroweak phase transition in the Two Higgs Doublet model. W…
