Gravitational Wave Bursts as Harbingers of Cosmic Strings Diluted by Inflation
Yanou Cui, Marek Lewicki, David E. Morrissey
A standard expectation of primordial cosmological inflation is that it dilutes all relics created before its onset to unobservable levels. We present a counterexample to this expec…
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…
Probing the gravitational wave background from cosmic strings with LISA
Pierre Auclair, Jose J. Blanco-Pillado, Daniel G. Figueroa +8
Cosmic string networks offer one of the best prospects for detection of cosmological gravitational waves (GWs). The combined incoherent GW emission of a large number of string loop…
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…
Gravitational wave energy budget in strongly supercooled phase transitions
John Ellis, Marek Lewicki, José Miguel No +1
We derive efficiency factors for the production of gravitational waves through bubble collisions and plasma-related sources in strong phase transitions, and find the conditions und…
